Cartas de amor y de rebeldía

It is six in the afternoon on a day in 1975 when Lydia Cacho hides in a corner of the room she shares with her two sisters, takes the small notebook her mother gave her and writes her first encounter with death in form of a letter to his friend Carlos. In handwritten letters, her first diary reveals a Mexico governed by the PRI, the description of the disappearances of students, the police checking the backpacks of girls and boys outside Colegio Madrid. The contradictions and oddities of a country that little by little gets used to violence and lies are narrated from the pen of a rebellious middle-class girl who escapes from her home because she refuses to accept the manifest destiny decreed by the sexism.
