Synopsis "Selene (in Spanish)"

Es la mañana del veintitrés y todavía hay que adornar el árbol de Navidad. Luisa se arrodilla junto a Selene y le ofrece la caja llena de adornos. La niña elije primero una esfera dorada, después una azul, una roja. Escucha atenta cada relato de Luisa y lee su mirada.

Un cuento que muestra la amistad entre una mujer del campo y una niña de la ciudad. Un relato sobre las imposibilidades de esa pequeña y la soledad de una mujer mayor, las diferencias sociales, la ferocidad de las ciudades y esa ventana siempre abierta al amor.
