CGiii Comment

Cecilia arrives in Guadalajara for the first time to study at the Faculty of Letters and become a writer. There she meets Nicolás and Aristeo, young men who claim to be the founders—although, in reality, they are the only members—of the underground ultraism, a literary movement that aims to change Mexican letters. Through them she meets Pita, an irreverent and openly bisexual poet, with whom she forms a genuine closeness. Cecilia finds in this group a new sense of belonging, until the friendship that sustains it begins to crack due to envy.

Cecilia encuentra en este grupo un sentido nuevo de pertenencia, hasta que la amistad que lo sostiene comienza a resquebrajarse debido a las envidias.
