Erna, a girl from the countryside, with meagre perspectives but a fine sense for people and possibilities, ends up spinning the big wheel of politics and economy. Unplanned and unexpected, she climbs the ladder to the top. Mercedes Echerer is Erna. And she is all of the 31 men and women that Erna encounters along her adventurous path. A fulminant solo evening full of laughter and contemplation and a crazy story all over Europe.
