 Sixteen years old. A quiet breakfast… until his mother decides he’s hiding something.
Between accusatory glances, dangerous silences, and suspicions that grow more dramatic by the minute, Federico finds himself trapped in a morning that refuses to stay ordinary.
As tension rises and misunderstandings spiral, he soon realizes that some truths are far more dangerous than any lie.
A short, witty story set in the early twentieth century, full of humor, secrets, first feelings, and the peril of staying silent when everyone expects a confession.
