Set in Badahó (Badajoz) during the early 2000s, the story centers on La Jara, a young girl growing up in the heart of the "cani/choni" subculture. Her world is defined by reggaeton, motorbikes, street fights, and the harsh reality of the Spanish outskirts. Amidst the noise and the external violence of her environment, dance is her only escape—a way to channel the energy that threatens to make her "explode." The book is described as a "philosophical-choni" manifesto. It explores themes such as eating disorders (EDs), social exclusion, gender violence, and the search for identity. It is a visceral plea for survival and resistance, suggesting that the "violence" we carry is often a response to a world that doesn't know how to hold us.
