What happens

Ratón de ferretería (English: Hardware Store Mouse or Mouse On) is a Venezuelan play written by Román Chalbaud, and the film adaptation directed by Chalbaud and written for the screen by Ibsen Martínez. While the play is considered an important and impressive work of theatre within Chalbaud's canon, the film has less significance in his filmography. It was a box office and critical disappointment, with Martínez's contributions particularly panned. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
