Mario is a puppeteer, who builds some marionettes for show and some for sale. Laura is a waitress, who works hard but earns too little. Together, they do what´s possible to make the most out of
their income until the end of the month. Every night, Laura gets home tired from work and dines with Mario while they tell each other about their day.
However, today Laura´s shift was changed, so she won’t be able to make it to dinner. This news causes a discussion in the marriage that seems mild, but something makes us feel like it is more serious than we perceive.
