Lamer las heridas

Lamer las heridas

Castro, Leticia

A dog wanders through a town in southern Spain. He is injured and starving. Camila is just as lost and damaged as he is. She is Argentine, she is thirty-eight years old and has just left her hometown, family, work, friends and psychiatric medication. Her escape leads her to take refuge in the Andalusian town where she will come across the dog. Although she doesn't like animals, she decides to help him: the dog has an infected wound that requires care and rest. We do not know what ghosts accompany Camila in her new life in Spain, what we do know is that they will not allow her to establish emotional ties with the people she meets there. Only the dog's need for help seems to make a dent in the armor that she brings from Buenos Aires. This is also the dog's story, told from his perspective. We will feel his hunger, his loneliness, his longing for human warmth. And the best: through it we will enjoy the simplest things, those that are worth living for.
