In the not-too-distant future, Spain is under the control of an authoritarian regime led by a technocrat who promises order and prosperity in exchange for the suppression of individual freedoms. The novel follows several characters who struggle to adapt to this new reality, while others resist and seek ways to subvert the system. Through their intertwined stories, Almudena Grandes explores themes such as political manipulation, individual resistance, and the importance of historical memory in the fight against oppression.
