Anatomía de la memoria
At the beginning of the seventies in the north of Mexico, a group of students known as Los Enfermos (The Sick) began a revolutionary movement with the aim of bringing about a new national order. The poet Juan Pablo Orígenes was part of the group. Forty years later, the Ministry for Culture employs Salomón to write the poet's biography to be published as a tribute alongside his complete works. In the course of his conversations with Salomón, Orígenes will reveal some unfinished business from his past and will begin to walk the city's streets again in search of what he has lost. From the nightmare of slander, conspiracy and betrayals, Orígenes will meet the Enfermos of his youth once more, but the country has changed and other sick people appear in the course of his search: it's not about what they will do now: the Practice Resurrection, the return of the Sickness.
