The Oligor brothers are two young men who lock themselves into a basement for three years where they create a world of puppets and mechanical gadgets, all made from recycled materials. With no prior experience, they enter into the process of creation of a small, fragile love story in which the lines of reality and fiction become blurred. Their piece is entitled The Trials and Tribulations of Virginia and the director follows the brothers to Barcelona, Valencia and Berlin, gathering the opinions of viewers and recording their reactions during the performances. This documentary bears witness to their process of creation: constructing gadgets to tell a story, and to tell their own story. The performance brought forth by the Oligor Brothers is something more than a game, it is a play of mirrors that brings life to these objects, it is a stringing together of stories.
