Nuria suffers from apiphobia. Since she was a child, she has that phobic registry focused on a wasps that, although they sting, their pecks do not usually have any severity. And Nuria is a girl old enough to have discovered it. So you may have to look for origins elsewhere, redirect the focus of fear to something more relevant that happened in your childhood.
Because yes, in his childhood days he met wasps and their mania with stinging where they find a piece of skin when they feel threatened. But beyond discoveries of small crudeness of natural life, Nuria had much more to discover in the environment of her family. Because not everything worked well in what everyone called home.
Many years have passed and Nuria finds herself in a very different situation of fear. Unemployment knocks on your door once your magazine closes the doors forever. And of course, adversity has that I don't know what magnetism to unleash more unforeseen events.
Together with his brother Raúl, they will find themselves in the position of a reunion with their father when he ends up seriously hospitalized. The worst case scenario to ask as many whys as can be asked to a father who left when they were still children.
The memories next to him float back from the memory trunk. Everything seemed fine between them and yet happiness ended up skewed without really understanding the reasons. Because for Nuria there was a lot of love, the kind that seems imperishable in the infinity of childhood ...
The point is that the forced chance, the imperative need for reunion at the foot of a hospital bed will serve to find answers. Nothing like an extreme situation to park guilt, prejudice and other nonsense in front of what is essential.
And even old wasp fears may disappear. Because dialogues, communication, sometimes offer a cure, a placebo against phobias and reconciliation with philias in their most linguistic sense.
