The Rooftop

In a rundown apartment building, in an unnamed city in Uruguay, a father and daughter close themselves off from the world. `The world is this house`, says Clara, and the rooftop becomes their last recess of freedom. A pet canary is their only witness. As Clara`s connection to the outside is stripped away-the neighbor who stops coming by, the lover whose existence is only known by a pregnancy-desperation and paranoia take hold. It`s a stifling embrace, and we are there with her, our narrator, dreading what we know the future holds.
