A Minute Has Passed And A Life Remains

Everything stars with a cell. One of Álvaro’s cells transforms, mutates, is re-programmed, and refuses to die. Soon there are more of them, they rebel against his organism, reproduce, form masses, lumps. With them come symptoms and with the symptoms, the diagnosis. But Álvaro doesn’t hear it alone, because with him is his daughter, Gabriela. She will be the one to tell the story of those days, this story about a family that faces a ferocious destiny and the rage and desolation of a future that becomes a threat.

Gabriela writes here a poetic testimony, an admission of how unprepared we are to take care of those who cared for us. The story of a daughter who begins to sense there exists an unimagined world. A world without a father.
