En él, este autor nos abre las puertas de su corazón para hablarnos, con absoluta sinceridad, de su propia persona y de la relación que lleva actualmente con su hijo Mallko. Recurriendo a las más diversas técnicas plásticas y a una prosa sencilla y directa, Gusti nos invita a adentrarnos en la intimidad de su entorno familiar para contarnos lo que significa convivir con un niño tan especial.
