Summary:
En un apartamento en ruinas, en una ciudad uruguaya sin nombre, un padre y su hija se encierran y se aíslan del mundo exterior. "El mundo es esta casa," dice Clara. La azotea se vuelve su último y único acceso a la libertad. Hay un solo testigo: el canario. A medida que los vínculos de Clara con el afuera se van extinguiendo--la vecina que deja de venir, el novio cuya existencia es aparente solo a través de un embarazo--la desesperación y la paranoia van tomando protagonismo. Es un abrazo que asfixia, y nosotros estamos aquí 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 Clara's connection to the outside is stripped away--the neighbor who stops coming by, the lover whose existence is only known by a pregnancy--desperation and paranoia take hold. It's a stifling embrace, and we are there with her, our narrator, dreading what we know the future holds.
