About This Book

Una família que viu en un pis modest afronta la malaltia d'Ernestina i les petites humiliacions de la pobresa quotidiana. L'obra mostra escenes domèstiques d'estrès material —manques de diners, treballs de costura i preparatius domèstics— i converses carregades d'esperança i judicis morals sobre un home influent que podria transformar la seva sort. Personatges secundaris s'ocupen de cures, tasques i xafarderies mentre es fa visible la pressió social sobre les dones i la dependència familiar. El teatre posa l'accent en el ritme de la casa i en la ironia de l'esperança en una fortuna exterior. La peça combina realisme quotidià amb una crítica continguda a la precarietat i l'ambició.
