About the performance

Melodrama usually consists of unusual events, exotic settings and, of course, an outside villain who threatens the happiness of two lovers. But what happens when the melodrama genre leaves the pages of a book and moves into real life?

How do two lovers keep their love when the only villains who stand in the way of their happiness are themselves?

On the eve of the Argentine Revolution, a young widow of South American Indian descent becomes engaged to the aviator Count Saint-Exupéry to move to Africa with him and give in to the lure of adventure, but soon discovers that true love in life and in literature are two completely opposite things.
