Unveiling the cost of life through the beauty and fragility of growing old.

Overview

In this story, we follow María Inés, an elderly woman, on an intimate and revealing journey as she seeks to understand the cost of life. Divided into four chapters, the narrative immerses us in the everyday life of her home, a space filled with memories and remnants that reflect what once was and what remains. Among antique furniture and objects steeped in history, we witness the protagonist navigating her present while confronting the inevitable decline of her body and mind. This journey portrays, in a raw yet poetic way, the duality of existence: the beauty and the hardship of growing old.

Little Big Men

Aug 31, 2010

In 1982, Cody Webster and a small group of friends from Kirkland, Washington, sat anxiously in a dugout waiting to take the field for the championship game of the Little League World Series. Their focus was just about what you’d expect from any 12-year-old: hit the ball, throw strikes, cross your fingers and then maybe – maybe – you’ll win. Adults in the stands and watching from home saw a much broader field of play. The memories of American hostages and a crippling oil crisis were still fresh; the economic malaise of the late 1970s still lingered; and the new President was recovering from an assassination attempt even while confronting new threats from the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, back on that tiny baseball field in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, no American team had won a true international Little League World Series Championship in more than a decade. When the Kirkland players rushed from their dugout that day, they stepped onto a much bigger field than the one they saw.
