A satire that pays homage to our relationship with the legacy that, according to Lázaro Carreter, constitutes our most solid heritage: language. Let us imagine that one day, by accident, a conventional woman were to become overnight a consummate scholar of language and grammar. How would this circumstance change her life? Would she see, as they say, her personal and professional horizons broadened or, on the contrary, would these new skills worry her about being marginalized from her environment?
Let us imagine, in turn, a renowned neuroscientist willing to subject the woman to an intensive process of linguistic deprogramming in the opposite direction to that carried out by Dr. Higgins on the flower girl Liza Doolittle in Bernard Shaw's famous play Pygmalion. In this case, it would not be a question of refining the character verbally, but, conversely, of returning her to her primary state of expressive limitation in order to avoid, in this way, the social maladjustment disorders originating after her inappropriate accident.
