Betto es un niño de ocho años que vive en Estación Central, a inicios de la década de los ochentas. Sus experiencias son plasmadas en un diario de vida con un lenguaje vívido, en el que también aparece el resto de los personajes del barrio: los amigos, los almaceneros, las calles, las pichangas con los amigos y hasta el vertedero próximo al sitio en que habita. A diferencia de otras narraciones infantiles o juveniles, Betto no busca idealizar el espacio de la infancia, ni constituir un entorno neutro. desde su perspectiva de niño, Betto analiza las necesidades económicas, las preferencias políticas y la moda.
