Four generations of a Chilean family live through love, ghosts and second sight under one violent patriarch, until a coup drags the youngest of them into the regime's torture cells, and she survives to write the family's story down.

Barrabás came to us by sea, the child Clara wrote in her delicate calligraphy.
