Ésta es la historia de Nino, un niño que es guerrillero, que lleva una ametralladora casi tan grande como él y pelea por la supervivencia en lo más intrincado de la selva guatemalteca. Lo que Nino hace es lo más cruel al que el ser humano puede estar obligado. Pero siempre hay una esperanza.;This is the story of a boy called Nino and of the book he is reading. A story that would be normal, with a magic book and a twelve year old boy, if it wasn?t because Nino is a guerrilla, he carries a machine gun which is almost as big as him and he fights for survival in the heart of the Guatemalan jungle. What Nino has seen lies in the depths of his heart. What Nino does is the cruellest thing a human being can be obliged to do.
