Tu dici California e pensi al Golden Gate di San Francisco, alle spiagge sabbiose di Malibu, agli studi cinematografici di Hollywood. E invece, appena più giù, c'è un'altra California, che a metà Ottocento seppe resistere all'avanzata delle truppe statunitensi e conservare la propria integrità e indipendenza.

Pino Cacucci è ritornato nel "suo" Messico per attraversarla e per raccontarla, da sud a nord, da La Paz alla frontiera di Tijuana.
