Las tres historias que componen este libro tratan sobre la búsqueda. De esposos, padres e hijos que durante la sombría dictadura militar fueron detenidos, torturados y hechos desaparecer. De madres, esposas e hijas que decidieron no callar y que, mediante huelgas de hambre, recursos de amparo y protestas en la vía pública, nunca dejaron de ir tras los pasos de los responsables. De mujeres que bailaron la cueca en soledad, que no tuvieron miedo de los mecanismos de la represión, que decidieron decirle al mundo lo que ocurría en el país.
