- Summary:
- Para Esther, el recuerdo de su infancia y juventud se reduce a la enfermedad mental padecida por su hermana, a los cuidados necesarios y a las precauciones siempre insuficientes. Luego, a su desaparición y asesinato. Entonces, cómo es posible que en ese arranque de enero de 2013, en Barcelona, su figura se le aparezca en pantalla? Como podría ser esa mujer, en medio de disturbios en la sierra hidalguense transmitidos por la television española, su hermana, víctima de feminicidio? Ya una vez Esther cruzó el Atlántico para escapar del dolor, de la pérdida y, sobre todo, de la culpa. Ahora hará el recorrido inverso para buscar la verdad que le fue arrebatada junto con la vida de Irene. Es cierto que, como tantas, fue secuestrada y asesinada?
- We thought that nothing could hurt more than Irene's disappearance, but we were far from understanding the real pain of a loss. For Esther, the memory of her childhood and youth is reduced to her sister's mental illness, to the special care that she required, and special precautions that were never enough. Later, to her disappearance and her murder. So, how is it possible that in January 2013 her sister's likeness appeared on the TV screen, in Barcelona? How could that woman, in the middle of riots being broadcast on Spanish television, be her sister, a victim of femicide? Esther had previously crossed the Atlantic to escape pain, loss, and, above all, guilt. Now she will do the journey in reverse to search for the truth that was snatched from her along with Irene's life. Is it true that she, like so many, was kidnapped and murdered?
