description
Twenty-eight-year-old Jana is a Mapuche, one of those “people of the earth” who roamed the most fertile tracts of the south American pampas for over two thousand years before being dispossessed in 1910 by the Argentinean constitution and transformed overnight into outlaws. Long black hair, big almond-shaped eyes, ravishing features, tall...but with small breasts, breasts that stopped growing after a violent attack by the Argentinean police when she was a girl. Jana is sculptor of a rare and undiscovered talent who prostitutes herself down at the docks to make ends meet. She is connected, as if by a blood bond, to her best friend, Miguel, a.k.a. Paula, a transvestite who also works the docks. When the body of a transvestite is found emasculated at the Port de la Boca, Jana turns for help and protection to private investigator Ruben Calderon. Calderon is a grizzled investigator who served time following the coup d’état of March 24, 1976. Since then he has been working tirelessly for the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, searching for any trace of los desaparecidos and their odious tormentors. Together, Jana and Ruben will plunge into the corrupt beating heart of the Argentinean political system on a hunt for a vicious murderer.

Jana è una mapuche, figlia di un popolo sul quale hanno sparato a vista nella pampa argentina. Vive da sola a Buenos Aires nel suo atelier di scultrice e, a ventotto anni, crede di non dovere più niente a nessuno. Anche Rubén Calderon è un superstite, uno dei pochi sovversivi usciti vivi dalle carceri clandestine dell'ESMA, dove sono morti suo padre e sua sorella. Investigatore per conto delle Madri di Plaza de Mayo, Rubén continua a cercare i figli dei desaparecidos adottati durante la dittatura di Videla, e i boia dei loro padri... Niente sembrerebbe far convergere le strade di Jana e Rubén, fino a quando nel porto della Boca viene trovato un cadavere di un travestito, Luz, che batteva il molo insieme all'unica amica di Jana. Sono passati trent'anni dal ritorno della democrazia, ma gli spettri degli oppressori hanno ancora sete di sangue.
