De bestias y aves

Adón, Pilar

Summer ends, the season changes, and a woman drives for hours in the middle of the night without knowing that she is approaching Betania, an isolated house, almost a territory outside the world. An unknown place inhabited exclusively by women who, however, do seem to know her. She's carrying a drowned sister on her back, and she hasn't told anyone that she's going or where because she doesn't even know that her journey is going to be so long. She that she is about to enter a house where the women dress in the same way, as members of an ancient cult, and carry out strange rites and celebrations. A space where goats dominate everything that is not guarded by the innumerable dogs that live there, and where a huge rock hides the sunlight and dominates the landscape. In which, in the background, a lake delimits the borders of the land, perpetually flown over by birds. And in which also live a blind woman whom everyone adores and a girl who runs from one place to another without ever having left that place. A corner of land, water and trees where the newcomer does not want to be even though it may be, as they tell her without believing it, the place where she finally discovers what it means to be part of something.
