The play is set during contemporary times, reflecting the cultural and artistic tensions of the period. The story revolves around Pep Mata, the enthusiastic director of a local theatre group, who is eagerly preparing to stage a controversial play titled "Els martirs de l'Inquisició." Among the colorful cast of characters, including the talented but young Enriqueta Vallès and the temperamental Constança, the interactions are filled with comedic moments and struggles related to artistic aspirations and personal relationships.
