Arsenio, a Cuban exile close to the dictator Batista, and his friend Elbio who never left the Cuban countryside, meet again after many years. Arsenio is gathering testimonies to support his granddaughter’s thesis on Batista, who lingers in people’s memories as a criminal and a traitor. He spends some days with Elbio: through memories and conversations between them and other characters, the book sketches a nuanced and polyphonic portrait of Batista and breathes new life into the collective memory of Cuba.
