After being defeated by Franco, Arcardi, along with four other exiled republicans, establishes a community in the heart of the jungle in Veracruz, Mexico. In this hidden place surrounded by exuberant vegetation and where the language is Catalan, a plot begins to take form: in order to return to Spain it is absolutely necessary to kill General Franco. With overpowering prose where the line between reality and fiction is hardly distinguished, Jordi Soler paints a picture of the republican exile and its less known side.
