Empezamos alli donde terminamos: que ha ocurrido en este apartamento en ruinas, separado del mundo exterior?

En un apartamento en ruinas, en una ciudad uruguaya sin nombre, un padre y su hija se encierran y se aislan del mundo exterior. El mundo es esta casa, dice Clara. La azotea se vuelve su ultimo y unico acceso a la libertad. Hay un solo testigo: el canario.A medida que los vinculos de Clara con el afuera se van extinguiendo -la vecina que deja de venir, el novio cuya existencia es aparente solo a traves de un embarazo-, la desesperacion y la paranoia van tomando protagonismo. Es un abrazo que asfixia, y nosotros estamos aqui con ella, nuestra narradora, aterrados ante lo que trae el devenir.

In a rundown apartment building, in an unnamed city in Uruguay, a father and daughter close themselves off from the world. The world is this house, says Clara, and the rooftop becomes their last recess of freedom. A pet canary is their only witness.As Claras connection to the outside is stripped awaythe neighbor who stops coming by, the lover whose existence is only known by a pregnancydesperation and paranoia take hold. It's a stifling embrace, and we are there with her, our narrator, dreading what we know the future holds.
