PLOT
It recounts the conflictive love story between two characters characterized as the man (dehumanized,
almost machine) and nature.
The story begins when The Man in a temporality located in the future appears alone and in a
world in ruins, product of wars and pollution. In that circumstance he reflects on how humanity came to
that point.
Nature appears, which represents both the creative force of life, as well as the hostility of the
natural environment, before which Man must be technologized.
Nature then reclaims the man-machine because he moved away from her, and if they cannot live in
harmony everything already destroyed
it will destroy even more. The Man-Machine in deja vu sees himself in the ruined city and decides
change his life strategy.
Both antagonistic beings seek each other and do not meet. Until Nature declares her love for him and
need for a coexistence agreement.
Faced with this claim, the man-machine feels that perhaps his destiny lies in other worlds, as if by changing
circumstance will change his inner selfishness.
The characters finally meet and decide to agree on a new life, they decide to erase the shadows of the
hopelessness and try a positive approach. In the final song the united characters celebrate the
triumph of life in the eternity of the universe.
