In Lagos de Moreno in the eighties (a town with more cows than people and more priests than cows) a poor family attempts to overcome the dangers in Mexico. Here begins the adventures of Orestes, the narrator of this story; his discovery of the struggle of the working class and his hilarious crusade against provincial boredom and the tyranny of his older brother. / En los años ochenta en Lagos de Moreno, un pueblo donde hay más vacas que personas y más curas que vacas, una familia más bien pobre intenta sobreponerse a los estrambóticos peligros de vivir en México. El padre, profesor de civismo filohelénico, se obstina en practicar el arte del insulto, mientras la madre prepara cientos de quesadillas para atender a los manoteos de su numerosa prole: Aristóteles, Orestes, Arquíloco, Calímaco, Electra, Cástor y Pólux. Confinados en una precaria casa, presencian la revuelta de los cristeros contra el PRI y su enésimo fraude electoral. Este es el punto de partida de las aventuras de Orestes y su hilarante cruzada contra el aburrimiento pueblerino y la tiranía de su hermano mayor. Todo cabe y todo vale en honor del disparate: vacas inseminadas, toros coleados, inmigrantes polacos, peregrinos sanjuaneros, naves espaciales, botoncitos milagrosos, sandías psicodélicas y muchas, muchas mentadas de madre.
