When the owner, old Mrs Esperanza, changes her will on her deathbed, she sets off a chain of events full of dark secrets and evil intentions. Viewers peek behind closed doors of rooms to find gruesome deeds, greedy relatives, and one very loyal dog. This complex puppet production takes place on a unique revolving stage with intricate lighting and bizarre mechanical effects. A black comedy that could be described as "puppet Hitchcock", will lead you through a world where the humour is as dark as the smoke from a crematorium.
