Summary: "Un año en quince minutos: pieza en un acto" by Manuel García González is a one-act play likely written during the mid-19th century. Set in Madrid, the play focuses on themes of love and loss, exploring the interactions and emotional struggles of its characters against the backdrop of personal histories and societal expectations. The story revolves around Julia, a young widow who is still mourning the death of her husband from the civil war. Through her maid, Dolores, she reveals her reluctance to engage with men again. However, Don Luis, a young and determined painter who is searching for a place to stay, becomes enamored with Julia from their very first encounter. He tries to woo her with his honest yet bold proclamations of admiration, leading to a playful exchange filled with clever banter. The plot unfolds with humor as Don Luis attempts to win her heart in what he describes as a race against time, likening his courtship to accomplishing in minutes what others take years to achieve. Ultimately, amidst their comedic miscommunication and growing attraction, Julia sees beyond her grief, leading to a heartfelt resolution and acceptance of Luis's affections.
