PART ONE, SCENE ONE: The lights slowly turn on and will remain dim throughout the scene. We are in the yard of an old car workshop. Pieces of car bodywork and various scraps of metal are scattered here and there along with old tires and tools.

In the middle of the scene, there are two old car seats, and lying on them is a young man with his back to the audience. Outside, a woman is calling out: LUCIA: Antonio! Antonio... where are you?
