Lucia

Lucia is a compassionate and hardworking individual who leads a busy life. Alongside her job as an administrator, she carries the responsibility of caring for her 84-year-old widower father, Pablo, who lives alone. Striving to maintain a balance between work, caregiving, managing her household, and maintaining her own well-being, Lucia faces the challenges of feeling overwhelmed. Despite her dedication, Lucia experiences moments of guilt when she cannot devote as much time as she desires to her father’s care, particularly in light of recent emergencies. One incident involved Pablo leaving the stove on, resulting in a fire, while another led to his hospitalization due to a fall. Lucia’s attempts to secure a private caregiver for Pablo proved unsuccessful, as he only accepts and trusts the presence of a person who visits him weekly for cleaning. Living in constant anxiety of a reoccurrence of incidents, Lucia contemplates the installation of a monitoring camera. Pablo holds reservations about this decision, fearing that the camera’s presence could be intrusive and potentially disrupt his trusted relationship with the cleaning persons, concerned that it might be perceived as a form of surveillance.
