In 1972, a group of young people from Havana, inspired by the hippie movement, face prohibition and intolerance in Cuba. Eva, along with her friends Bada and Pilzy, are part of the Cuban underground, firmly believing in life above ideologies. Through their experiences, Cuban rock is discovered, persecuted and expelled, and the creation of a liberating force called Jipangá. This novel explores themes such as freedom, female sexuality, adolescence and perseverance, all narrated with the inspired pen of Zoé Valdés.
