To us, Werther, is a symbol. This adaptation proposes a look at the novel by the 21st century. In that way, Werther is a rock star whom we lose our minds. We fall in love with him, in the same way he felt in love with Carlota and simultaneously with his most faithful lover – the dead. However, there is another Werther, calmer, more contemplative but emotionless.

The propose we make implies a dialectical conflict between these two characters, where Carlota is the polarizer and the mediator of this conflict.
