Sonia Pastecchia & Charo Calvo
(37’12”, 2012)

She lives with her violent man in a gas station situated in a provincial road. It is a summer day. As usual she cooks and cleans and listen to her husband small talk and to the cars passing by. In the mean time, her thoughts take flight out of that painful routine, a way of surviving. By the time a storm breaks, she does not feel anymore the difference between reality and fantasy, till her husband punch to the face brings her back to normal.
