First the neighbourhood waits for the occupation; then the troops arrive and set up their base amid the uproar; finally they slip away and the funk parties start shaking the hillside again. Through brief chapters that switch between them, five young residents fall in love, quarrel, scheme, get by and lose hope, while the state's drug war offers only killing as policy and the community answers by insisting on living.
