Julius is an upper-class child in 1950s Lima, Peru. He lives in a palace-like home with his aristocratic family and a large domestic staff. As the years go by, Julius gradually loses his innocence as he discovers — and never fully understands — an adult world full of inequality and injustice.

Julius es un niño de clase alta en la Lima de los años 50. Vive en una casa-palacio con su aristocrática familia y una extensa servidumbre. Conforme pasan los años, Julius poco a poco irá perdiendo la inocencia, al descubrir —y nunca comprender— un mundo adulto lleno de desigualdades e injusticias.
