ABOUT THE PLAY:
Five people, two women and three men, meet at a campsite by the sea. Within 24 hours, everything surfaces, the miracle of love, passion, seduction and the desire for money. Malena and the old man, Professor Boyer, have arrived at the site as a final stop in the shipwreck of their voyage together with the secret aim of selling the site.
Malena’s beauty and magnetism relieve the boredom for Iván and for Miquel, the village doctor. For her part, Sofia, the niece who survived the 11M terrorist attacks, taking refuge in this corner of the world and, in love with the doctor, watches these people search for each other and repel each other in a game in which she can’t participate. Who are these old masters and what can they teach her ? What are we ready to risk when life throws us her final opportunity ?
