Enjoy the story of two feuding clerks who find solace in their anonymous romantic pen pals, who are none other than each other! This wonderful comedy is familiar to many of us: it has been adapted to the films Shop Around the Corner (starring Margaret Sullivan and James Stewart), The Good Old Summertime (featuring Judy Garland and Van Johnson), and, most recently, You've Got Mail (with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks).

This “video-opera” encompasses elements from contemporary music video, tabloid journalism, analytical documentary, popular Mexican music, and, of course, opera. The libretto is based on a news piece which appeared in the Mexican tabloid La alarma! about the return of the real Camelia "la tejana" (woman from Texas) and reconstructs her “true” story of trafficking marijuana and becoming a murderer for love.
