A region in West Central part of Mexico, where crime and violence reigns, discovers a new common threat with Covid-19. The inadequate transformation of a rural cottage to respond to the challenges of Covid-19. Desolation and sadness. A contrast of light and shadow, life and mystery, shelves full of empty hopes and desks without notebooks and pens. Life is only provided by rays of light that penetrate through holes created by time and neglect in the wooden ceilings. A body that seems embalmed and that remains us “so fearful and sad.. my God, the dead are left alone" (Becquer).
