Reality and fantasy swap places. The bizarre death of Anas father, who will prove to be a Fascist military man, is real. The apparently banal appearance of the mother at the fridge, on the other hand, is in fact fantasized by the grieving child. Anas mother is already dead her image is only a fanciful illusion of the little girls mind. Blaming her mothers illness and death on her father, Ana has dissolved a mysterious powder she believes to be a potent poison in his milk glass as a willful act of murder. Her belief in the power of the poison is thus confirmed when her father dies. Her mother had told her years ago to throw out this powder as it was poison. It turns out it is simply baking soda.At the wake of Anas father, she sees again the mysterious woman she had previously seen fleeing her fathers bedroom on the night of his death. The woman, Amelia, is the wife of her fathers close friend and fellow military officer. Anas satisfaction of having rid herself of her fathers presence is short lived, for her mothers sister, her Aunt Paulina, soon arrives to set the house in order, turning out to be every bit the cold authoritarian Anas father had been.
