Yo vengo de una familia en la que cada miembro danaba de algun modo a los demas. Luego, arrepentidos, cada uno se danaba a si mismo. Un hombre es humillado por su patron; su hijo quisiera humillarlo mas. El hijo del Presidente se rebela contra su padre, pero depende de su proteccion. Una mujer, por amor, sufre el sadismo de su marido. Un comandante debe escoger cual de sus dos hijos morira. Un cura esconde a su hija en una aldea. Todas las familias felices es la polifonia narrativa de los ramales conflictivos del Mexico contemporaneo y, por extension, del mundo.
