This low comedy is set in Montevideo in the early 20th century. It begins and ends with the appearance of a dirigible over the Uruguayan city. It's coming excites and distracts the crowd that gathered to attend the public suicide of ex-presidente Baltasar Brum. A Uruguayan writer returns. A Frenchwoman and her translator, and boy named El Moco (Snotty) go on a quest. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
