A house in the middle of the mountains. An ongoing war. There, an old couple survives by burying anonymous victims of the conflict. The announcement of peace and the arrival of a third character shake their everyday life: from then on, the borderline cuts the house, the bed, and the couple in two. Renowned author Ariel Dorfman draws an allegory of the wall that separates good and bad, husband and wife, children and parents, past and present, lies and truth. Three formidable actors take us on a grotesque and paradoxical journey towards our innermost fears.
