The child was born during dictatorship but, inside her world, she felt free. She grew up and, little by little, she internalized the stories her father whispered in her ears… outside, people were chased, imprisoned and tortured just because they didn’t think as those that detained power.
As a teenager she became acquainted with the scenarios that obscured the real world. And suddenly the Revolution happened - April 25th, 1974 - and everybody went out into the street, shouting: “FREEDOM”. In her imagination the strength of that scream broke barriers transforming them into carnations that turned red and flooded the streets.
