An intimate story that could be summarized with the book’s preface:

How, without love and the intuition that comes from love,
can a human being place himself
in the situation of another human being? Carson McCullers

It is the morning of the 23rd and still the Christmas tree has to be decorated. Luisa kneels next to Selene and offers her a box full of Christmas decorations. The girl first chooses a golden ball, then a blue one, a red one. She listens carefully to each story Luisa tells her and reads her look.

A short story that shows the friendship between a country woman and a city girl. A tale about the inabilities of that little girl and the solitude of a grown-up woman, the social differences, the ferociousness of cities and that window always open to love.
