Imagine a parabola. Zero point down, at the bottom of an abyss. That’s how low we sank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe year is 1993. Cuba is at the height of the Special Period, a widespread economic crisis following the collapse of the Soviet bloc.For Julia, a mathematics lecturer who hates teaching, this is Year Zero: the lowest possible point.
