​During sixty-five days, I visited thirty places in twenty-six different cities in Minas Gerais state, Brazil. These were either possible places where the child was seen for the last time, or significant places in his or her life: a school where the child studied, a grocery store where she went to buy candy, a bedroom, a house, or a neighborhood. This was an attempt to fill the empty spaces, but I found myself in the center of a social reality that collapses into a bottomless pit.
