The Face

A man in a small boat reaches an island on the Paraná River He heads towards a site where there used to be a house or small village Now there is nothing Slight signs of something old and lost the place where he was born His presence allows the things in the abandoned spot to materialize huts and tables animals and canoes Soon others arrive on the island his wife father friends and children This is a meeting of the Man and his loved ones With the dead the birds the rivers music and his pain
