La obra transcurre en la década del '20 del siglo pasado, en la vastedad del campo argentino. María y Honorio, son un matrimonio de inmigrantes italianos y Justo, un humilde peón contratado para la cosecha.

El diálogo fragmentado entre estos tres personajes sobre lo cotidiano elude, una y otra vez, los deseos insatisfechos de unos seres desamparados y atormentados. Sin embargo, al sentirse protegido por la intimidad del hogar, el matrimonio puede concretar una fantasía que resulta intolerable para la mirada del rígido exterior. Este acuerdo entre María y Honorio se ve abruptamente interrumpido por Justo quien altera la cotidianidad marcando nuevos destinos a sus vidas.

Es un “melodrama campero” que respeta el modelo de la tragedia clásica, en tanto adquiere dimensiones míticas que la rescatan del localismo y la proyectan a lo universal. Lo que está en juego es la dignidad de esa criatura contradictoria e inconstante que es el hombre, su identidad y su eventual redención en un desenlace fatal.Read more
