The house of Bernarda Alba
A group of nine women give recitals and captivate you with the realism that the show exudes.

The stolen moments he spends with
Pepe makes her happy and confronts Martirio (Konstantina Varda), her ugly and past sister who is also secretly in love with him.Martirio sees her life
to leave without being able to do anything, no one will ask her to marry, she will live the same torturous scenario every day.She desperately dreams of Pepe and is filled with bitterness and angry.She threatens Adela that she will reveal her unholy relationship with the future husband of Angustia, provoking the wrath of her overbearing mother .of those who, grabbing the gun, shoots the intruder in the enclosure of the house, without chance
