Respire

"Respire" is a true story. It tells how our lives are woven from other lives. How my relationship with money is directly linked to the way my mother's family survived the war. Respire is a tragi-comic text that turns my mother into the heroine of a silent and tenacious resistance; where my father acts as a reluctant savior. A small story shattered by the grand one. At once ridiculous and strangely beautiful There is my penny-pincher grandfather My academic grandmother An uncle who died in the war Another who asks women to do everything for him A great-grandfather who flees during the war And women who hoard Who count Who hold back money
