Qu'elles soient joyeuses ou tragiques, visibles ou non, les ruptures rythment notre existence, nous transforment, nous remettent profondément en question. Comment conjuguer ces "bifurcations" de nos vies que sont les ruptures avec l'idée de notre identité, une et constante ?

A partir de una experiencia personal con la taxidermia, y rodeado de anécdotas sobre el traslado de huesos, Cristóbal Marín narra en esta crónica las peripecias de su viaje en búsqueda de información sobre el paradero y destino de los fueguinos que murieron tanto en Londres como Europa durante el siglo XIX luego de ser expuestos en zoológicos humanos y ferias o llevados, siempre contra su voluntad, para ser analizados por científicos y anatomistas y, en algunos casos, educados en los valores occidentales con el propósito de que regresara "civilizados" a sus tierras.
