A Catalonian family has exiled to La Portuguesa, an hacienda set in the deepest recesses of the Mexican jungle. During the years the family awaits with naive energy for the fall of Franco and the advent of the republic, each becomes more deeply rooted in this wild land where only the creatures endemic to the region are able to survive. In one of the most lively escapades ever told, the main character starts to discover the permeable nature of things as well as the paradox of his two worlds: the upcoming and the preexisting one. This is the second part to Soler's last novel Los rojos de ultramar.
