Night Women

- A woman sits in the night, and watches her son. Her son's growing reminds her of her son's father. Her son wraps the blood-red scarf that she wears to temp her suitors. 
- The woman is stuck between the day and night. During the night, she puts a curtain to separate her son from her secret of fair with the man she brings into house. 
- She likes to whisper different stories in her son's ears; wants him to forget that "we live in a place where nothing lasts".
- She keeps watching her son while he falls asleep: his emotion, his actions, his little gestures... , and hearing him humming a song. 
- The man who comes tonight (Tuesdays and Saturdays) is Emmanuel, a doctor. On Mondays and Thursdays, it is an accordion player named Alexandre. 
- After the man leaves, the woman sits outside and smokes a dry tobacco leaf. Later, she returns to see her son. Her son asks her, have him missed the angels, and she tells him that the angels have a lifetime to come to them.
