Cuba in the 1970s. Ten-year-old Rauli lives in hostile world. His older brother is violent, his philandering father doesn't understand him and his intelligence and sensitivity do not endear him to the other children at school. Rauli know three things to be true. He was born in the wrong body, he will die at age eighteen as a soldier in the Cuban intervention in Angola and he is the reincarnation of the Trojan princess Cassandra. Burdened with knowledge of tragedies yet to come, Rauli nonetheless strives to know himself.
