Cecilia Larondo, also called “La Ceci” by her family, spends hours chatting and laughing with Renato. She is very touched to meet Maïa again : during thirty years, she preciously kept a pink pin and few drawings, memories of their last meeting.
Cecilia was a dentist. Now she is retired, she lives with her husband Gabriel in a comfortable building. She loves patchwork, collects all kind of different trinkets and drinks tea all day long. "We pretend we are the British people among the Latin Americans" she said, laughing.
Cecilia is a guardian of memory, just like her brother Sergio, fan of genealogy. The shelves of the living room are filled with photo albums. She knows many anecdotes, precious to Maïa.
"Your father had plump legs. His mother always wanted him to wear short pants, so people can admire his beautiful calves!”
