Testimonials
It was when we deconfined and we finally had the right to go and see our loved ones outside. I suggested going to see my sister in her yard. Right away, it was the storm, the looks of contempt, the discouraged sighs… as if I was really irresponsible for thinking about doing that. We didn't go in the end.
