The mystery is too much for Domingo. He soon discovers La Vuida Martinez is a widow and she isn't crazy. She collects junk and transforms it into art. This chance encounter becomes a lifelong friendship between Domingo and La Vuida Martinez, sharing fun, stories and making Mexican piñatas.

Customer Reviews
- "This was an excellent play, characters have potential for development, story provides rising action, climax and resolution. This short play has everything a full length play consists of, and is all wrapped up neatly in a few pages. It is ideal for a middle school or elementary production UIL or otherwise."
- Review by Alberto Guajardo, Lamar Bruni Vergara Middle School, Laredo, Texas
- "A great challenging role for the male leadÉnice comedic moments and a couple of touching scenes. A fun show to work on and a good opportunity to relate with Hispanic and non-Hispanic audiences alike."
