This book is based on the disapearance of several high school students which occurred during the military dictatorship in Argentina in September 1976. Seven high school students, all residing in the city of La Plata, demanded a student fare from the government. The student fare was a reduced fare instituted to help the students reach their schools, but it had since been eliminated by the military government. For such a petition, the students were "disappeared" and tortured. Only one student managed to escape and this book is based on his experiences and his denunciations of what happened in Argentina during the so-called "Dirty War."
