Siamo nel 1983, a Chihuahua. Adelita ascolta i racconti del nonno materno, il suo abuelo: li ascolta con la partecipazione incantata che è dei più piccoli quando stanno scoprendo il mondo, e insieme al mondo scopre anche un pezzo importante della sua storia. Quello di Adelita è un ascolto tanto più importante perché le informazioni che riceve a scuola sono opache e contraddittorie e hanno bisogno di una voce più trasparente, più vicina al cuore delle cose e degli eventi. Parral, 1916. Pancho Villa è ferito, nascosto in una grotta nel deserto.
