A new play by José Maria Vieira Mendes written for Artistas Unidos.
A woman – Ana - and a man – Paulo – are both resting at home. Nevertheless, he seems frightened, nervous, no one knows for sure why. She decides to make a tea that might calm him down, but when she comes back she will find another man, one that comes from the past, from another time. And time – Ana’s engine - will keep on shuffling as we advance through the Three Days. In the end, a woman standing alone, calling her own name seeks for someone by her side who might justify her existence.
