Héctor and Berna are a childless married couple. In the course of their lives they have amassed a collection for which they have sacrificed everything else. Now, in their old age, they want to make sure that the collection survives them, so they are looking for an heir. They summon Susana, also a collector, to examine it. They are accompanied by Carlos, perhaps an examiner himself, if he is not an item in the collection.
The Collection is a play about marriage, about the passage of time and about the mysterious relationship between people and objects.
