Summary :
Milonga is a documentary about intimacy
At last, she came. A round trip, just as she had planned. 24 hours so that she could figure out… In the evening, she would not do it. We made love in the early morning, shyly, as if we were afraid to touch one another. As if it could have triggered a catastrophe. She didn’t ask me to put on a condom. I was surprised. During our first three years, she had forced me to put a bit of rubber over the tip of my dick because the pill can give cancer and besides you put on weight…I only understood afterwards. I am very slow when it comes to understanding certain things. For instance, understanding the fact that she had started to take the pill with that guy. ”I used to take it with you too at the beginning of our relationship, remember ?”, she told me. She also told me that she was going to miss me when we were standing on the departure platform.
I haven’t heard from her since then. I sometimes wonder whether she actually came.
It’s a bit as if it were the persistent recollection of something which has never happened.

After the trilogy “En pire”, “Jeanne” and “Stupa”, “Milonga” is the second part of a Latin series. It comes after “Anoiceter” and is followed by “A estoria das horas”.
