Chapter One: The Airport
In 1968, the adolescent narrator, Arturo, an aspiring poet, is about to take a flight with his mother and younger sister, leaving Chile for Mexico. However, they are prevented from getting on the flight. While waiting for the next flight at his mother's friend's house, he reminisces about his mother, their housekeeper, Celestina, and his mostly absent, Mexican father.
