Os arautos negros

Micaela Tisminetzky

A 57-year-old woman who works, is single and has no children begins to become aware of her imminent old age and the loneliness she has built for herself through visits to her mother, who lives in a nursing home and is showing the first symptoms of Alzheimer’s. As she progresses in her observation of the things that surround her, she begins to realize that her fate is similar to that of those she observes daily in the asylum, alone, with nothing to do but repeat a meaningless routine, like the one she repeats every day in her own life.
