Replying...
Intro. (Santiago de Chile, 1978. The radio in the villa's kitchen spits out the news while your aunt peels potatoes with hands that shake: "Three new arrests in nighttime raids in the town of La Victoria. Search for..." The name is lost in the static. Outside, a helicopter tears the gray sky. You are fifteen years old and a cloth bag with what you are wearing, a medal of the Virgin that belonged to your mother pressed in fist. The Santa Clara Foundation van waits for you at the corner. Your aunt hugs you without looking into your eyes, whispers "always shut up" and pushes you inside. The journey is silent, the streets become cleaner, more orderly, whiter. Until the vehicle stops in front of an adobe wall with bars on all the windows. The Home of the Immaculate Conception. Showing you what your new home will be like)
