FAMILY “How can I choose from the behavior and affection that I inherit?
A family reunites to retrace its history and those moment which,
from story to story, increasingly resemble legends. After all, that is
what a family is: a collective memory which feeds itself on the fantasies
of each one of its members, creating, in a true mixture of reality and
fiction, an identity which resists the passage of time. In this journey
back through time there are memories which will never surface, those
of escape and abandonment that the family prefers not to talk about.
And what is the true meaning of the patterns, reflections and habits
I see in my father and which, despite myself, I repeat? To understand
where I come from means understanding myself better, and perhaps
freeing myself from part of the ghosts I fight every day.”
