PLOT SUMMARY
A two-month cohabitation with my mother in an attempt to forget the external fear of the pandemic. The outside world is only seen through the windows of the apartment, my mother and I becoming passive observers. Events continue to take place in our absence beyond the boundaries of the rooms that become a shelter, a protective shell.
