The play "La Golondrina" by Guillem Clua brings together Amelia and Ramón. Amelia, a strict singing teacher, receives Ramón at her home because he wants to improve his vocal technique to sing at his recently deceased mother's mass. As the lesson progresses, the two characters reveal details of their past, a past deeply marked by the Pulse nightclub shooting. The true meaning of that attack, the motivations of the shooter, and the lingering shadow of its victims lead to a confrontation between Amelia and Ramón that forces them to uncover the truth. This truth compels them to reflect on their own identities, the acceptance of loss, and the fragility of love, laying themselves bare to such an extent that their fates become forever intertwined.
