- Abstract
Lauro, a photographer of The Excelsior newspaper is hit by a "Hawk" ( a government paid undercover group ) in the repression of the protest march of 10 June 1971 in Mexico City. Because or the injuries, he falls in comma for twenty years. When he wakes up, in 1991, he rejects the social and political changes that took place, and he rejects those of his friends who work inside of the system. The sleep and the wake up separated by twenty years show not only the inadaptability of the nouvelle epoch but that this one doesn't correspond to the thinking structures and habitual praxis of the protagonist. Individualism, permissive behavior and false economic and political stability of the country, that are invisibles for the eyes of new citizens, show themselves aberrant and untrue ahead of Lauro. However, finally he adapts himself to the news forms of postmodern life for not loosing his family and his friends.
