Tal como los alquimistas medievales se obsesionaron con la piedra filosofal, un sacamuelas sevillano, que llega hasta el virreinato peruano huyendo de la Inquisicion, se afana en la busqueda del gusano de los dientes que taladra las muelas y anida en las encias, precipitando la corrupcion del cuerpo y flagelando a los cristianos con una espina del dolor de la Pasion, porque el imperio espanol de los siglos XVI y XVII era tambien el imperio del dolor. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In the same manner as alchemists obsessed over the philosopher's stone, a tooth puller from Seville reaches the Peruvian viceroyalty in search of the worm that makes its home in people's mouth to hasten human corruption.
