...Meeting, a fatal and apparently meaningless duel between two gentlemen at a party takes on the significance of another sort of "meeting" across time. The two knives which are wielded in the fight seem to quiver, as if by their own energy, in the hands of the unskilled fighters. Taken from a glass cabinet, they are relics from earlier days of Argentine banditry.
