In the early days of the Civil War in Xàtiva, Miquel's life takes an unexpected turn when he is orphaned at the age of thirteen. The arrival of his mysterious Uncle Cep, a former friar who escaped from the convent with a Republican militia, marks the beginning of a journey through Barcelona and Paris. In this journey, Miquel tirelessly searches for the poet Orestes Ballester, who played a crucial role in his uncle's escape. With an exquisite narrative reminiscent of literary giants such as Georges Perec or Julio Cortázar, Toni Cucarella invites the reader to accompany a multifaceted protagonist throughout his life, enjoying his extravagant adventures and reflecting on whether his Uncle Cep's prophecy will be fulfilled: 'qui de casa se'n va, a casa tornarà'.
