A grandfather willed his van (a mobile cinema/library) to his three grandchildren, so they can continue his legacy. The three, all unemployed artists, fulfil their grandfather’s will, even though they do not yet know all the intricacies of the job. Through many trials and tribulations, will they manage to succeed? What to do?
They have a vague idea from what they were told about their grandfather, of having watched movies and heard, when they were children, loose memories of his life told by their parents. So they do not deceive the audience, they will face their embarrassment and ask for help.
They will end up performing, theatrically, the imaginary and fantastical memories, the dreams, the laughter and the anxieties where words are the main protagonists. They wish only for a house the size of the World… a “House of Hospitality”.
