This adolescent love story is acclimated in the Chile of years 60, basically in the cities of Castuera and Santiago.

One of the central personages or protagonists is Gabriel, a boy of eighteen years, humble but wide-awake condition for books, in spite of its basic educations, that live with their father in the small population of San Millán.

A day, Gabriel and his father happened through the station of Castuera. The old man notices and suddenly greets a friend, general Mora'n, and to its daughter, Grace, the other part of this youthful romance. Grace and its father were spending the vacations in Castuera.

While both majors talked, Gabriel watched Grace, very beautiful and fine a young person of 17 years, and begins to feel attraction towards her.

There, Grace threw a ring to the sea: a lieutenant of the called army Max had #***aed-refl mng itself it, with which she was it jeopardize. Max counted on all the blessings of the father of Grace. That gesture (to fire the ring) it did not like anything to the father of Grace, reason why this one requests Gabriel who helps him to rescue it. They are moments of attraction and literary voltage that culminates in the kiss of Gracia and Gabriel.

As Gabriel were wet by to have thrown to the sea, he went to dry itself to the house of Gutié, a man who enjoyed his vacations and had rooms in his home.

To the other day, Gabriel and Gracia were of stroll, but they were with Max, that he went to discuss with the loving assumption. Grace defended to enamored his.

Without the support of the priest, they married secretly, they themselves, but they felt to be doing it directly before God.

Days later Grace said to him to Gabriel who was pregnant and who would go away tomorrow. Gabriel also was going to travel.

Sundays were joined both only in misa, since they had watched to Grace all the day.

One night, Snows (an employee of Grace that protected this love story) went to the house where Gabriel stayed itself. Very shaken, it counted before the worried Gabriel who Grace had fallen by the stairs of the house, after discussing with his father.

Before the desperation, Gabriel promised not to cry. Soon he returned to his house where he was relieved with his father who advised to his son a spiritual retirement, from which he assumes, Gabriel writes his history amusingly.
