Episode Synopsis

I’m cheating here because this was actually yesterday, a few hours later in a different plaza, Plaza Santiago: seemingly the entire town’s population of children gather on all the Friday evenings in October and play games in big groups with adults hired by the city (wearing green bandanas so you can identify them) organizing the activity, or kids sitting down in little circles together playing whatever games, or just two friends talking, small secrets. Meanwhile the parents crowd around tables at the restaurants that surround the plaza, mostly just enjoying the company and not worrying too much about their kids.
