About the play:
Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz — the famous Mexican nun, philosopher, and author — wove an intricate plot of love and deception in Los empeños de una casa, which became her best-known play. Here it is newly transformed into a baroque sitcom about adapting and adjusting.

On Leonor’s first day working at a pawn shop, she comes across an intriguing book: a used copy of Sor Juana’s Los empeños de una casa. As Leonor reads the 17th-century romantic-comedy-of-errors, she soon discovers that the play mirrors the lives of the workers at the shop in surprising and revealing ways.
