El Día Que Mi Hermana Quiso Volar / The Day My Sister Wanted to Fly

«Cuando hay dos mellizos y uno muere, el otro sigue siendo un mellizo o se llama de otra manera?



Esta es la primera pregunta que Elio se hace despu?s de que Eva, su hermana, su compa?era inseparable y su amiga del alma, caiga desde lo alto de una azotea. En ausencia de Eva, tan inteligente, tan inquisitiva, tan exigente e intolerante a la injusticia, qui?n es Elio? Qui?n es M?nica, su madre, a quien la adolescencia hab?a colocado a mil planetas de distancia de su hija? Qu? lugar ocupa en este juego de ausencias Mateo, el psiquiatra de Elio, que tiene que ayudarlo a transitar por el duelo de una p?rdida que primero debe desentra?ar si ha sido accidental o provocada? Elio no sabe c?mo se llama un mellizo cuando el otro muere, pero s? sabe que Eva ya no est?, ha volado. Lo que ella siempre hab?a querido. Ahora tiene que decidir qu? desea hacer ?l: c?mo contar qu? le ha sucedido a su hermana, y con su propia vida. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "When one twin dies, is the other still a twin or should they be called something else?" That's Elio's first thought after Eva, his twin sister, inseparable companion and best friend, is killed in a fall from a roof. Without Eva - smart, inquisitive, demanding, passionate defender of justice - who is Elio? Who is M?nica, their mother, a million miles distant from her teenage daughter? And what role does Mateo play, the psychiatrist whose job it is to help Elio manage the pain of losing his sister, when it still isn't clear if her fall was an accident, or she was pushed? Elio may not know the right term for a person who has lost their twin, but he does know that Eva is gone. She flew away, like she always wanted. Now he must decide how to understand what happened to his sister, as well as how to move forward with his own life.
