"— You paralyse yourself with fear of death, the one problem you cannot solve. So that you do not have to face the problems you can solve. What you fear is not death, Federico. What you fear is life.
— My name is Fernando.
— Oh right, Fernando. Sorry."
Now that the Grim Reaper is showing his face more and more often, seemingly waving at Fer from every street corner, Fer goes in search of the meaning of a mortal life. In the hope of, at the very least, giving Death a good laugh.
'Fer is on a Deadline' is a comedy storytelling show, inspired by a year of particularly bad timing: the death of a friend, a frightening diagnosis and a break-up.
