The central figure in this work is Marianella Garçia Villas (1948-1983). This Salvadorean woman fought for human rights in her country. As a barrister for political prisoners she belonged to the opponents of the regime in El Salvador. She escaped death several times, but eventually her activities cost her her life. The story of Marianella Garçia Villas is very important in the struggle for human rights in South America with many people followed her example. Dirk Brossé ends this symphonic poem with a Coda in which hope for improvements in human rights triumph.
