THE SHARKS

The fin in the water was visible for only a moment, but people are very concerned. What if there are sharks in the ocean near this village in Uruguay? Fourteen-year-old Rosina is, at any rate, convinced that she wants a romance with Joselino, who, like her, works for her father. Joselino's on-again, off-again interest in her propels her desire to win him over. Her longing leads her to a plan to get closer and closer to the somewhat older fisherman. But like so many things in her life, which is full of desires that are hard to pin down, her plan is not long-lived.
