An unprecedented proposal. A 21st-century Vanya. A theatrical acrobatics piece starring Joel Joan.
Sonia and her uncle Ivan (Vanya) have spent many, many years working the land of the family estate.
Sonia is the daughter of Anna (Ivan¿s late sister) and Alexandre, an old and ailing film director who is in the twilight of his life.
Alexandre and Helena, his current wife, have recently moved to the family estate because they can no longer afford to live in the city.
Ivan has spent his life working so that his former brother-in-law, Alexandre, could succeed as a filmmaker. But now that he stopped making films some time ago, he feels the emptiness and the foolishness of having devoted his entire life to the wrong person.
Envy, frustration, anger, unrequited desire, impossible love¿ are some of the ingredients of these characters you will not be able to stop loving.
