Scarred Face
by Stefano Paolocci
The football World Cup is being played and Guglielmo, during its daily football match on the beach, enjoys identifying himself with the players who, during the same days, stand out on newspapers and TV.
Imitating actions of football players, reproducing sounds of radio-TV speakers, Guglielmo excites Alfredo’s envy who, frustrated, thinks up an exemplary punishment: every time Guglielmo interprets a football player, the corresponding sticker will be removed from his album, defaced with a pen, cut out and joint up with others stickers to make a kite.
This history has been made to explain the military regime in Argentine and the drama of the desaparecidos.
