In Silence Based on a story by Julio Cortazar "La puerta condenada - The Condemned Door"
The single lady has been living here for a long time.
She returns late from her work.
Well, why not?
How simple. The door is blocked with a cabinet.
On the other side there's another cabinet...
probably...
There cannot be a child.
The woman is single and on duty all day.
Where does it come from?
Probably a few months old.
Newborns cry louder.
Without this door, no one would have heard.
I should lay a suitcase in front of it. Or two.
A child? What child?
You must be confused. We have no babies.
There is a single lady next to you, as I said.
Probably a dream.
A child? What child?
She screams herself! There is no child!
She soothes a void but cries with real tears.
It will be calmer today.
Your neighbor is leaving in an hour.
She lived here, lived, but now she is leaving.
You can't understand women.
Yes, they are difficult to understand.
It's because of me the neighbor is leaving.
In a fit of fear, shame, or anger.
I, not she, should have gone.
Should I have spoken to her about it? Promise to say nothing?
God be with her. Let her make herself illusions, the hysteric.
She'll find another hotel. Lull another imaginary baby.
