Flor de Otoño (1972), José María Rodríguez Méndez
- Scene
The play is divided into two parts.

The action takes place in different locations – Doña Nuria’s large house; Lluiset’s small flat; the Bataclan club; the barracks at the port; the streets of Barcelona; the workers’ cooperative bar; a prison.
As Autumn Flower, Lluiset dresses up in a gentleman’s top hat and tails, adding sequins to his outfit and feathers to his hat. He looks a little like Marlene Dietrich in cabaret attire.

In the Bataclan club, Autumn Flower performs a song. The club is packed with people dancing to tango music.
