A show about magic that comes when we allow ourselves communicating with the heart

A dockworker and a country lass meet by accident, both running away from the war.  Together, they are going to learn to trust one another, to work, to grow up and to surmount the fear of realizing their dreams.  All without words, only by mime and gesture, a new world will arise under the fingers of the two actors with simple pieces of paper!
