Russian Dolls
Luisa and Antonio surrender to the game of keeping tricks up their sleeves, of disagreements and reconciliations. Luisa follows with curiosity the thread of the words while Antonio imagines a movie inhabited by Elsa and Miguel: some fictional characters blurred in the middle of a deep sentimental crisis; a he and a she confused and lost in the rainy labyrinth that sometimes we call love.
