Avanzar na vida consiste en enfrontar o medo, ás veces mesmo con humor, con moito humor.

As veces, temos medo daquilo que nos ameaza, pero outras tememos precisamente o que pode liberarnos.Coa lectura destes relatos de Hector Carre descubrimos que os nosos medos poden ser ridiculos e ata comicos; pero outros son tan aterradores que nos impiden abrir os ollos.

L''acqua ha sommerso ogni cosa: solo la punta del campanile emerge dal lago. Sul fondale si trovano i resti del paese di Curon. Siamo in Sudtirolo, terra di confini e di lacerazioni: un posto in cui nemmeno la lingua materna e qualcosa che ti appartiene fino in fondo. Quando Mussolini mette al bando il tedesco e perfino i nomi sulle lapidi vengono cambiati, allora, per non perdere la propria identita, non resta che provare a raccontare. Trina e una giovane madre che alla ferita della collettivita somma la propria: invoca di continuo il nome della figlia, scomparsa senza lasciare traccia. Da allora non ha mai smesso di aspettarla, di scriverle, nella speranza che le parole gliela possano restituire. Finche la guerra viene a bussare alla porta di casa, e Trina segue il marito disertore sulle montagne, dove entrambi imparano a convivere con la morte. Poi il lungo dopoguerra, che non porta nessuna pace. E cosi, mentre il lettore segue la storia di questa famiglia e vorrebbe tendere la mano a Trina, all''improvviso si ritrova precipitato a osservare, un giorno dopo l''altro, la costruzione della diga che inondera le case e le strade, i dolori e le illusioni, la ribellione e la solitudine.
