00:00I started checking out other people's files that other people had lent me.
00:05And a memory insisted on coming back.
00:09When I was eight years old, we went for a walk.
00:14My parents started talking to an older man.
00:19I remember that my parents and that man were excited.
00:26He asked me to take a picture because he was going to take that picture to his daughter.
00:33I'm not sure if this is a memory or a story learned from memory.
00:39The only thing I'm sure of is that that day I knew that that man's daughter's name was Karineitel.
00:47And that my parents gave me my name because of her.
00:57I found out later that Karin had been a member of the Patriotic Front Manuel RodrÃguez.
01:02That they carried out actions against the dictatorship.
01:08When I was a girl, I always asked my parents about Karin.
01:12But I had never asked them what their reasons were for giving me this name.
01:21I remember that when I was a little girl, I always asked my parents about Karin.
01:26But I had never asked them what their reasons were for giving me this name.
01:37One day when I went to visit my mom, I asked her.
01:43She started crying.
01:48There was a black hole.
01:52Something in our story was like a blank page.
