The neighbourhood of La Plata, set between Rambla del Poblenou, the cemetery and the railway tracks, is the neighbourhood of the people who emigrated from Valencia to Barcelona: an island amidst factories and workshops which became the home of working class people. The Plata neighbourhood is also a mental space where the main character of the book spends his childhood, dominated by the cultural shock between the arty Catalanism of his mother and the Spanish-speaking immigration of his father, between paid holidays and an anarchist past, between the determination to get ahead in life and the impossibility to do so.
