About Performance:
The country is in crisis due to rising product prices, increasing bank interest rates, and declining job opportunities. Antonia, along with other working-class women who refuse to pay inflated prices, raids a store and takes products without paying.
However, Antonia faces an even bigger challenge—hiding the stolen goods from her law-abiding husband and the police, who are already searching homes to catch the culprits.
Together with her accomplice, Margarita, Antonia has to come up with countless lies to avoid getting caught, making the situation increasingly absurd and comical. Her idea of hiding stolen goods under clothing catches on among the neighborhood women, and suddenly, everyone appears to be pregnant. The police are baffled, and the situation spirals into chaos.
