In a neighborhood constantly under construction, Irene, a grandmother who lives with her granddaughters, gets to know a neighbor through the window that the building demolished wouldn’t let her see before. He makes golden mesh, a delicate work in the midst of so much destruction. By observing his daily activities, Irene approaches him without his knowledge. Golden Mesh is a beautiful mosaic of a narrative of enveloping tenderness. (R. F.)
