“Dream and reality; just one”
Irene, a theater enthusiast and devoted admirer of artist Paula Rego, moves between a yearning to know and the fear of what she might uncover. Through Rego’s haunting work, she finds a doorway into her father’s past. In an imagined dialogue with the dead, she seeks out Emilio — a retired soldier she suspects may have carried the weight of unspeakable acts.

After the lewd and frenetic Dance of the Seven Veils, and with the solemn pledge from the very lips of Herod himself that she could have whatever her heart desires up to half his kingdom, wanton and proud young Salomé comes before her king with an unreasonable demand. Beguiled by John the Baptist, and then scorned for the sake of his god, lascivious Salomé—encouraged by her mother, the vindictive, Herodias—commands that John be executed and his head delivered on a silver platter.

Left on the doorstep of a monastery as an infant, Marcelino was raised by the monks. He was well-cared for but lonely and missed having a mother. One day he found a special friend in the forbidden attic, hanging on a cross. A friend that would repay Marcelino's kindness by granting him one heart-felt wish.
