Play Details

Synopsis

Mario’s sudden disappearance sets off a series of events that bring to light hidden secrets and buried emotions within his family and friends. Juan, Mario’s brother, grapples with anger and responsibility, while Sofía, their sister, searches for solace and understanding. Natalia and her Mother embark on a poignant journey to identify a body that might be Mario’s, leading to revelations about their own past and their connection to him.

Through intense dialogue and fragmented scenes, the narrative weaves together the characters’ struggles with love, loss, and the search for truth. The play moves between various locations in Mexico, from the bustling streets of Mexico City to the serene, yet tense settings of Tijuana. As secrets unravel, the characters must confront their perceptions of reality and the elusive nature of certainty in their lives.
