Um Animal Menor

Paula wakes up. She doesn’t know where she is nor how she ended up there. The little light comes from the sky shaped by a circular frame. Paula is inside a hole, in a pit too deep to be climbed. It becomes even deeper with the appearance of Jose, a 10-year-oldish boy. Complicity becomes a power struggle. Inside the pit is the woman weakened by her situation; outside, a boy who became an obstacle to her freedom.
