Salitre nos adentra en la biografía de Álvaro Elías Beltrán Celedón, concretamente en los primeros años de su infancia en Colombia, su país natal. Nacido en el seno de una familia numerosa de orígenes humildes, Álvaro crece en un entorno tóxico, marcado por la violencia, la pobreza y la falta de educación que caracterizaban estos agitados años de la segunda mitad del siglo XX colombiano. Su madre, quedándose viuda cuando Álvaro tiene apenas dos años, trata de sacar a sus hijos adelante mediante los escasos medios que tiene a su alcance. Desde muy pequeño, Alvarito tiene que hacer frente a una serie de adversidades e infortunios que se suceden en cadena y detonan la vida de nuestro protagonista. Vivirá numerosas aventuras y desventuras y, a través de sus ojos, comprenderemos cómo percibe e interpreta un inocente niño los acontecimientos que suceden a su alrededor, los cuales terminarán marcándolo irremediablemente y quedarán siempre grabados en su memoria.
