Sometimes it is necessary for the world to go under. Go inside the mountain of rubble. Thats how you know what it is you must truly save from defeat. Nina must abandon her home in the Big City with her partner and their teenage son because of a threat of collapse. They decide to move to the country house where she lived as a child, which has been abandoned for a long time. However, for her, her familys past, each stone holding up the house, the wetlands at the bottom of the gorge, are black wholes of combat and violence she cannot escape, swallowing up every hint of light. I will be free, I will never fall in love, I wont have children, I wont have a home, said Nina when she managed to run away from that place. But in the end, her story as a woman alone doing great things, or doing minuscule things, who cares, has had many twists and turns, like the branches of a fig tree. Think how easy this would be without them. Without Ivan and Ariel. Right now, she wouldnt even be here, where she swore never to return, trying to find a new beginning to give everything meaning.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The latest novel by the Libreter Award winner author, the voice of a generation loaded with doubt, anger, and passion.
Sometimes it is necessary for the world to go under. Go inside the mountain of rubble. That's how you know what it is you must truly save from defeat.
Nina must abandon her home in the Big City with her partner and their teenage son because of a threat of collapse. They decide to move to the country house where she lived as a child, which has been abandoned for a long time. However, for her, her family's past, each stone holding up the house, the wetlands at the bottom of the gorge, are black wholes of combat and violence she cannot escape, swallowing up every hint of light.
"I will be free," "I will never fall in love," "I won't have children," "I won't have a home," said Nina when she managed to run away from that place. But in the end, her story as a woman alone doing great things, or doing minuscule things, who cares, has had many twists and turns, like the branches of a fig tree. Think how easy this would be without them. Without Iván and Ariel. Right now, she wouldn't even be here, where she swore never to return, trying to find a new beginning to give everything meaning.
