If we do have an aunt, then we will have an inheritance. If we have an inheritance, there is definitely a nephew who should inherit it. The receipt is simple, but the conditions in which the aunt will give away her fortune are complicated. At least, for the young Julius, unskilled in winning the heart of a future fiancée, but determined to win his aunt`s favours.

Cristina Dumitra, playing Aunt Euphemia, is very sweet, but vigilant and pragmatic, at the same extent. As her name gives us the hint, she uses euphemisms for all the relational `miseries` going on around her. Sebastian Bălășoiu, playing Julius, is both naive, helpless and twice as handy when things go off the path. He slightly becomes invisible and gets away clean. Karin Vinge, played by Ana Maria Carablais, is the image of a very well-organized woman; when finding herself in a no-win situation, she tries to reach the highest expectations. On the narrow line between her jealous lover and the pretentious aunt, Ana Maria Carablais` role can only be one of an extreme comic. Iulia Verdeș is the true embodiment of Julieta character. Fragile, naive, curious, with a wandering gaze, dreaming and in love with beauty itself, she appears and disappears from the stage like the wind. She stumbles in words, but knows to make a decision when needed. Cristian Olaru is a jealous Harald Engberg, with the nerves at their highest peak, with precise and possibly `lethal` movements. Paradoxically, he can be easily tamed.

In consequence, due to the complex play of the five actors, each character has a double personality, fact that inevitably gives birth to countless funny situations to which the spectators have no other option than laughter.
