Verdades verdaderas, la vida de Estela Page #5

Look.

Oh, and with no glasses!

Scientists discover a way

to identify people with a blood test

I don't get it.

Greek to me. Can you explain?

Ivonne, I think this can help us

find our grandchildren.

Of course!

Girls, are we doctors, now?

Please! It can't be that simple,

I don't know. We're not their mothers.

OK, optimists on one side,

pessimists on the other side, please.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Our blood can help.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Do you see what this means?

Municipal Cementery. La Plata 1984

I didn't see her

when they gave us the body.

I couldn't see her!

It's as if I had never said goodbye!

The military is going to insist

on the confrontation, Claudia!

You'll see. When they stand trial,

they're going to say

what they always say.

That Guido does not exist!

What are you thinking about, mom?

That we should ask for the disinterment.

When I heard about the pregnancy,

I hit my head against the wall.

I wanted her to have a miscarriage.

They were the worst

news I could hear.

And now I regret it, right?

But I was afraid of

what they could do to her body

in that condition.

But she clung to her pregnancy

and to you and you managed

to live through it together.

They could steal bodies,

break them, throw them into the river

but they couldn't

destroy certain things,

certain dreams.

Your mother's dream was you

Municipal Cementery. La Plata 1985

She received two almost simultaneous

shots at a distance of 30 centimeters

approximately:
One in her womb

and one in the nape.

Any of the shots would

have been enough to kill her.

There was no confrontation.

She was killed.

I knew that but still,

I needed to hear it.

You're a grandmother.

Laura's bones spoke.

Shall we go, honey?

I'm coming.

He didn't wanna take it?

He didn't even come.

Hello, yes. When? In Madariaga's?

We'll finish the box and

I'll take it. OK, bye.

No!

He appeared!

I can't believe it!

Where are the pictures?

They're there. The one on top, there.

Mom?

She's at her office.

Sweetie! What a surprise!

You're gonna be surprised.

What happened?

Sit down.

Abel!

Wait!

Fatty!

Is that him?

There he is!

Oh

Abel! Abel! Wake up! Abel!

We've got news.

Well, How do I look?

Very nervous!

Yes, I know but how do I look?!

Perfect! Perfect!

This is yours, here you will find

pictures, memories, anecdotes

of people that knew your mother.

Recordings?

There are a lot of stories from friends.

These are the most beautiful of her.

Tano gave us a hand, right?

He sure did he sure did!

He's coming, you know?

So beautiful!

Your mother is so beautiful!

Look at her! You little thing!

I love you so much!

I knitted this one myself!

It was Laurita's favorite

Thanks, dear!

Thanks.

We didn't know where to start.

Time doesn't matter.

Florencia.

I know we'll meet.

Juan.

There is a family

that loves you and

is looking for you.

Life can also arise from pain.

Nicol...

Sooner or later,

the truth will come to light.

They put us down,

they stepped on us,

and we were able to stand up

and we're still standing up.

Today we are many and

can hold each other up.

Others will tell you your story.

Horacio.

I won't die without an embrace.

Mother's arms.

Francisco.

I don't know you and I dream of you.

Mara Eugenia.

We are waiting for you.

In the eyes of every boy I see, I look

for your mother's eyes.

I don't know how I can live without you.

Manuel

Claudia

And I'm here waiting for you.

Dear Guido, today you turn 33,

Christ's age as they say,

as we old women say

with this in mind,

I think about the tyrants.

That killed you when you were born

by erasing your name

your history your parents

Laura you grew up with another name

and a life full of lies

what those who took

you cannot imagine is that you

carry all the lullabies

and all the songs

your mother used to keep

you warm in your heart.

I know you'll wake up one day

knowing how much she loved you

and how much all of us still love you,

and that day,

you will wonder where to find us

that day, you will understand

why every time you

listened to Sui Generis,

Almendra or Pappo you could feel it

deep down inside you

that day, you will find those answers

and many more

You will finally wake to become

a free man. I am looking for you.

I'll wait for you.

Your grandmother Estela
