"With love, do not joke!"

on comedy Pedro Calderon de la Barca

In the classic Spanish comedy of the 17th century, noble ladies in long dresses and valiant gentlemen with swords live on stage. They say only poems. They are young and take up their timeless questions: what is true love, and is there it? Maybe it's better to give up faith in miracles right away, but then not to suffer from disappointments?

Don Pedro's house is a stir: both his daughters have grown up enough to start worrying about their honor: they are not yet married, but it’s time to give them away. The younger sister, Leonora, has already found an admirer among the noble dons, and the eldest, Beatrice, prefers to men Latin and chemistry. Before the younger sister needs to marry the eldest, and Leonora comes up with how to fool Beatrice. Together with her fiancé, don Juan, they persuade don Alonso to pretend to be in love with Beatriz, but comic love suddenly makes young heroes think about it ...

The noble Dona Beatrice knew for all her 20 years that only grammatical tables and the law of the earth could be believed. She was sure that "all tragedies in the world come from love." Could she have imagined that one day she would fall in love without memory in the first caballero oncoming?

The noble don Alonso knows these women as peeling - he has seen them in his lifetime more than you are sparrows. Could he have imagined that one of these “learned peasants” would drive him insane?

In romantic collisions and comedic situations, the heroes have to understand themselves and choose their own destiny.
