La obra relata los hechos del la toma del Palacio de justicia en Bogota en noviembre del 1986 desde el punto de vista de la gente común. Julieta Marín, una joven estudiante de derecho que trabaja para costearse sus estudios como cajera en la cafetería del Palacio de Justicia, jamás apareció entre los sobrevivientes y los muertos de la toma. La desaparición desencadena el caos, los temores y represiones de los inquilinos de la casa: Sergio, un mesero con dotes de payaso, y Victoria, su mujer, quienes conforman el nudo pasional de la historia, Carlos, un usurero que negocia con la desesperación de los demás, Humberto, un joven confundido que no logra superar su falta de madurez, y Lucía, la madre, dueña de la casa, una mujer que cae en las redes de la locura desde la desaparición de su hija, se convierten en victimas de una guerra ajena y propia a la vez. Le dan color a la bandera del país personificando los imaginarios de cualquier colombiano que se enfrenta a los conflictos políticos y que no necesariamente es consciente de ellos, que vive sus anhelos y sus frustraciones en medio de los turbulentos cambios sociales de la época.
