Memento - Remember you (English version)
Aina is the faithful servant of an illustrious ducal family, the Signavits.
A family as mysterious as it is fascinating, whose members remain cloistered in a mansion at the top of an impenetrable mountain and their faces perpetually covered by masks.
Still, she never questioned her existence, or the attitude of her masters and mistresses, because this place was the only thing she had ever known. Well... Until one of them mysteriously disappears.
From then on, she decided to shed light on this mystery, without knowing that she was turning the wheel of fate and that she was going to find much more, in her quest of the truth, than what she was looking for at the start...
...Without thinking that all this was going to bring her back years before, in a life she no longer remembered.
"Appearances are beautiful in their momentary truth." - Octavio Paz

" You love it ?" asked the child, whose presence she had completely concealed for a few minutes.
"Who, miss?" she replied, unsure of what the latter was talking about.
She tilted her head, as if she didn't understand.
"My doll."
'Oh... The doll.'

"She is very pretty, but why is she locked up?" she couldn't contain her curiosity.
The girl lowered her eyes, to slip them on her soft toy, whose neck she caressed in an affectionate manner, giving the scene a sinister atmosphere.
"So that she doesn't escape"
