"The Shovel and the Million", a black comedy that digs deep into greed!
What happens when a family gathers under the same roof, all with their eyes on a fabulous inheritance? Well, it leads to roars of laughter, absurd arguments, and literal digging!

In a house on the Romanian coast, the "grieving" relatives of old Tănase gather with a single thought: who gets their hands on the fortune? Under the masks of false compassion, everyone makes their own calculations, but their "ingenious" plans get out of control when a winning lottery ticket appears. In the mad rush for money, anything becomes possible: betrayals, fragile alliances, a suspicious savarin, and a shovel that finds its place where you least expect it!

”The poetic matrix of the show captures the fragility of family relationships when greed penetrates and tears them apart. In an idyllic setting, where harmony seems natural, pettiness and hatred smolder, and money becomes the engine that drives the characters towards absurd chaos. Comedy arises from the contrast between the beauty of the place and the grotesque of the situations, revealing the ridiculousness of the means by which the characters pursue their goals. The truth, although hidden under layers of lies and petty interests, eventually prevails, transforming the drama into a farce. Laughter, as a liberating force, brings human hypocrisy to light, each moment becoming a cruel but necessary mirror of our weaknesses”. – Corina Dragomir.
