Perezhílov's Lens
Autumn 1962 in Pradonuevo del Casillón, a Sorian village of the Second Republic that never fell. Aurora Balmaseda, a thirty-four-year-old widowed telephone operator, inherits from her friend Iván Perezhílov, an internationalist Soviet photographer, a box containing a magnifying glass, a hundred and forty negatives, and a notebook of names. An inspector from the Documentary Heritage Bureau knocks on her door on Tuesday. To decide what kind of calm — or what kind of pride — falls to an ordinary life, when what might have been weighs in a tin box.
