The myth has the power of hope and a final taste of disappointment. You can not build justice by feeding hate to implement the worst of all abuse: the exploitation of man by the state. On the surface, it is all about "justice for the poor people." But the underworld conspires with the noise of military boots to finally understand that what is at stake is the immense wealth and resources in Venezuela.
The furious student demonstrations for justice and freedom against dictatorship, the icons of Caracas in the late 50s, 60s, and 80s, prison, torture, corruption, and power make their way through these essential pages to the delight and at the same time to understand a Venezuela that until today, still beats in the dreams of democracy and freedom.
