El 5 de febrero de 1970, un hombre de 28 años intentó matar a Gustavo Díaz Ordaz. Falló. Pero el Estado reaccionó con saña maquiavélica y no falló en su intento de matarlo en vida. Después del atentado, Carlos Castañeda fue detenido y torturado. Sin embargo, eso no fue lo peor: una jueza lo declaró «jurídicamente incapaz» y ordenó refundirlo en el manicomio. Lo dejaron ahí 23 años, desecho, ignorado, enloquecido. Cuando al fin fue liberado, en 1993, ya era un hombre sin nombre, sin identidad ni historia. Vagó por las calles hasta su muerte.
