Sexo, mentiras e historia cientifica convergen en La Habana en el ano 1993.

"Era como si hubieramos alcanzado el punto critico minimo de una curva matematica. ?Tiene presente una parabola? El cero de abajo, el hueco, el abismo. Hasta ahi llegamos."Corre el ano 1993. Cuba esta en lo mas algido del Periodo Especial, un profunda crisis economica tras el colapso del bloque sovietico.Para Julia, una profesora de matematica que detesta ensenar, La Habana esta en su ano cero: el punto mas bajo, camino a ninguna parte. Desesperada por tomar las riendas de su vida, Julia se une a Euclides, su colega y ex amante, para emprender la busqueda del documento que compruebe que el telefono fue inventado por Antonio Meucci, en La Habana. Creen que esta es la respuesta para proteger su reputacion y darle a Cuba un nuevo proposito.A partir de este punto cero, Julia da inicio a una investigacion que la acercara a dos hombres que prometen guiarla hasta el documento, y que la vera involucrada en un enredado misterio de pasion, legados familiares y las complejidades de como la gente encuentra maneras de sobrevivir en un pais que vive la mas terrible de sus crisis.

"It was as if we'd reached the minimum critical point of a mathematical curve. Imagine a parabola. Zero point down, at the bottom of an abyss. That's how low we sank."

The year is 1993. Cuba is at the height of the Special Period, a widespread economic crisis following the collapse of the Soviet bloc.For Julia, a mathematics lecturer who hates teaching, Havana is at Year Zero: the lowest possible point, going nowhere. Desperate to seize control of her life, Julia teams up with her colleague and former lover, Euclid, to seek out a document that proves the telephone was invented by Antonio Meucci in Havana, convinced it is the answer to secure their reputations and give Cuba a purpose once more.From this point zero, Julia sets out on an investigation to befriend two men who could help lead to the document's whereabouts, and must pick apart a tangled mystery of sex, family legacies and the intricacies of how people find ways to survive in a country at its lowest ebb.
