FIELDS DRENCHED IN BLUE

The action takes place at Villa Urquiza.

Inside an apartment on Roosevelt Street.

Sergio, our protagonist, is 18 years old.

The mother, 39, says it's a Saturday and that there is much to be done.

All of this occurs in April, 1971.

It's the epoch of Lanusse.

Breakfast with Sergio's step-father.

The mother's young concubine.

He asks when will he receive the grade report.

Now enters Bughi, a Poodle lap dog.

Another question. ''How is your math going?''

The mother asks Sergio to buy Geniol for her.

''Do you have a headache?'' Asks the step-father.

''I don't know. If it's not the glasses, it's the lenses.''

''It's annoying. It irritates me.'' She says.

''Enough.'' He warns it's her nerves.

''Oh, and Doriden, to sleep!'' She says,

Because it seems that insomnia is driving her mad.

Another question. ''Are you going out today?''

It so happens that he asks for help to fix the car.

She says: ''Today, my brother is visiting.''

''To eat?''

The brother, Sergio's uncle.

''Does he bother you?'' She reacts.

Thanks to him, we have a car and a loan.

''Yeah, yeah...'' He says.

A moment of peace.

To Sergio: ''Did you claim your savings book?''

''No.''

''And what are you waiting for?'' She says.
