The Cave is a narrative about a potter named Cipriano Algor, as well as his daughter, Marta, and her husband, Marcal. Cipriano Algor is 64 years old and has done pottery for a long time.
In the story, there is a Center, the Center actually. The Center decides everything, what sells, sells and what doesn’t sell, then it really doesn’t sell anywhere else either. Cipriano Algor has always made pottery for the Center, but one day the Center decides to not buy it anymore, which means that Cipriano is out of business.
Cipriano, together with Marta, decides to sell figurines, which do very well in the Center. But just as fast as it started, it ended. The Center did not want the figurines anymore. This turn of events forces Cipriano to move in with Marta and her husband in the Center, which he does not want to do.
They suddenly hear a sound that comes from under the Center. What could it be? Cipriano discovers that it is a cave underneath the Center.
