In the beginning there was silent cinema, whose undisputed dominance lasted more than thirty years. Lacking the sound that made the plot clear, the films had to rely only on the mimicry and gestural skills of the performers. A limit, perhaps, but also a creative stimulus, which required actresses and actors to possess a great stage presence, a hyperbolic management of expressiveness and an extraordinary capacity for dramatic identification. 

The same characteristics required of the models of the story imagined by Alberto Pelayo, called not only to take on the role of a heterogeneous triptych of characters, but also to relive the extraneous vicissitudes of unknown people.
