In the suffocating atmosphere of this idiosyncratic matriarchy, Agis tries, with the means at his disposal, his intelligence, his penetrating eye, his humor, to solve the ties in which his family has imprisoned him. But the “knot” that chokes him tightens unbearably, depriving him of his autonomy, making him incapable of love, unable, ultimately, to live.
Women dominant and frugal, passive men, submissive to their will. A closed world, impenetrable by others, stifling for those who are forced to live in its bosom. In the suffocating atmosphere of this idiosyncratic matriarchy, Agis tries, with the means at his disposal, his intelligence, his penetrating eye, his humor, to solve the ties in which his family has imprisoned him. But the “knot” that chokes him tightens unbearably, depriving him of his autonomy, making him incapable of love, unable, ultimately, to live. In a simple, blunt, shockingly honest script, the author recounts the story of a wound that loses wide open. “Who knows how to tie knots? Scouts, you will tell me. Or sailors. I was neither one nor the other. Neither me nor none of my family. We still have expertise in knots. There is a knot that is difficult to tie. It takes time, it requires cooperation of many factors – but when it finally ties, it does not relax with nothing. He tightens and holds well, since the others around were adults and I was invisible. “
