A Grave Situation

By Rodrigo Ribera d'Ebre

A Grave Situation is a dark story about obsession, revenge, and murder. Haunted by a past relationship that was destroyed by betrayal, and disturbing childhood memories, Stella Castellanos fixates on getting even with men who have crossed her. After becoming a stalking victim when she breaks up with her most recent boyfriend, she abandons the country to become an ESL teacher and to get away from the disillusionment around her. But before she leaves, she makes sure the score is settled. Her personal vendetta starts transforming her wrath into small doses of physical violence until it goes too far.Not far from Stella's Santiago de Chile apartment, fellow colleague, Kip Kowalski, sparks her interest in a long-term fantasy to commit a murder. His perverted, racist, sexist, and ignorant behavior represents everything that is wrong with mankind and fills Stella with disgust. She decides to strategically plan a murder after years of agonizing over the actuality of going through with it. As Stella prepares to carry out her twisted plan, her distinction between right and wrong disappears in this harrowing study of religious conflict, treachery, and retribution.
