A portrait of a Guatemala in which the social strata, the political dye and the normalized macho culture frame a family history. The narrator tells his story during an afternoon of drinks, in a bar where an Elvis Presley impersonator sings: the classic songs of the rock idol are interspersed with the terrible story of Teresa, the protagonist's sister, married to a military man, and whose misfortune is arising before the eyes of all those around her without anyone being able to intervene.
