She lives a lonely monotony, her days are a routine of repetitive actions. Then She stops and in the silence She remembers the body of a man stroked by war. She tries to free herself of the memory, but the memory goes through the skin. A biographical performance between the director and her grandmother to confront the domestic dictatorship of their family.
