This fantastic work portrays the “Home of the Suicidal” a clinic created by Dr. Ariel, who descends from a family in which men commit suicide when they begin to lose their youth. Two reporters (Chloe and Fernando) arrive to the clinic by mistake, who with their joy and passion for life transform in a radical way the different states of the sick: the sad lady, the imaginary lover, the professor of Philosophy …; and also those of Alicia and Hans, assistants of Doctor Roda, Director of the Clinic.
After a series of encounters and disagreements between the characters, which are comic and dramatic at the same time, the main and perhaps only objective of the clinic is fulfilled: to make the sick disillusion of that desire to die.
