Plot summary
Juan José Moreno Cuenca, known as El Vaquilla and the Heifer, narrates his own life at twenty-three from inside a prison. He was born in the Torre Baró neighborhood of Barcelona, where his mother came and went to jail and the father he barely knew was absent. His brothers were criminals too, and he soon began committing crimes himself. By the age of nine he could drive cars he had repaired, and he used that skill to get away from the police. He planned robberies with the people around him and spent time in the city's reformatories, in a Barcelona of the 1970s and 1980s.
