It is evening and a thief moves around a dark flat. He searches the drawers and opens a jewellery case. A slim and delicate woman returns home, and as soon as she senses the presence of a stranger in the flat, she pretends to know nothing about him. She does not put the lights on, but walks through the flat with sureness because she is blind. The thief switches the lamps on, pulls out a switchblade knife and clicks it open. Ramóna hears everything and simulates calmness. She takes a necklace off her neck and hides it in the jewellery case without looking. She then sits down in an armchair and switches on a fan. The intruder switches on all the lights in the room. He is finally convinced of the woman’s blindness only when she powders her face blindly and works out the time by fingering the hour hands. The thief shuts the knife and, realizing that someone is probably coming home, he silently sneaks out with his loot. Ramóna breathes a sigh of relief and switches all the lights off. Two wedding rings on her hand betray that she is a widow.
