Make me of the night a fairy tale

AUTHOR: Jorge Marquez Diaz

Synopsis

Tres personajes comparten su soledad sobre el trasfondo de una cutre pero acogedora pensión madrileña. Un cuarto individuo, joven y descarado, se aprovecha de la dueña de la pensión, vive a su costa y la maltrata.
Entre sueños y delirios transcurre la noche y hasta una larga mañana en la que nunca llega a amanecer. En esas horas, los personajes amasan la utopía de un mundo ideal, rebosante de dulzura, placer, risa y magia; o sea, de vida, y se obstinan en hacer de esta noche eterna un hermoso cuento de amor escrito con tinta caliente. Unos a otros parecen rogarse: Hazme de la noche un cuento que acabe de una vez por todas con tanta pesadilla incompartible.
