A noble and a young gypsy fall in love and are forced
to face the society they live in; a man loses his mind
and believes he is made of glass; two naughty children
learn the trick to survival; an old man tries to hide his
young wife but is consumed by jealousy; two dogs
strike up a long conversation where they discuss their
owners in pretty unflattering terms… a tableau of
characters that portray the Spanish Golden Age and
capture the spirit of the time.
