The Cambaceres Girl
The story goes something like this. I'm paraphrasing the tour guide in the cemetery.
On her nineteenth birthday, Rufina Cambaceres learns through the confession of a friend that the man she was in love with was her mother's secret lover. Broken-hearted, she passed away that very night while she was getting ready to go to the theatre in Buenos Aires, Argentina circa 1930.
Some 45 days after her burial, her grandmother arrives from Europe and orders to open the tomb, perhaps just to see her one last time, or perhaps because she had a bad presentiment. To their horror, they discover the girl had had a premature burial.
The statue in this picture was then built in her honour. Her hand eternally touching the door handle that could have set her free.
