On the night of the fiesta of San Juan, Death, in the form of a beautiful pilgrim, appears in a village in rural Asturias. In an atmosphere that is both mysterious and magical, reflecting many of the popular beliefs of the time, death is portrayed as deeply human. She is so human that we begin to feel pity for her because we see that she has no choice about what she does and until the end of the play does not even know who it is she has come to take with her.
