Summary
A fictional retelling drawing on autobiographical elements to tell the real life story of Alejandro García Durán de Lara, popularly known as Padre Chinchachoma, a charismatic Catholic priest who devotes himself to rescuing homeless children in Mexico. Set in a deeply classist society and against the backdrop of the 1985 earthquake in Mexico City, the core of the story also revolves around a college student's fear that Padre Chincha might be sexually abusing the children he rescues, at a time and place when such actions went unchecked by the Catholic Church.
