A Mapuche family is uprooted from their ancestral land by a nexus of political power and private industry.

One night, a Mapuche man is killed by hired agitators. His daughter Lucia, her mother and the entire community are forced off their land. Displaced, they migrate to a poor neighbourhood of Mar del Plata where Lucia attends school while her mother sells baskets at a local market.

Lucia—like many displaced Mapuche—grows up in an urban landscape devoid of cultural and community connections and values. She feels lost, disconnected from her roots, and marginalized.

More than a format, they are a genre, even more, they are a universe. Comics constitute a narrative that entertains, builds emotional experiences and imaginaries of both fiction and non-fiction, with such a variety of forms and contents that they also inform, educate and communicate, reaching a wide spectrum of audiences.
