The action of the comedy "Head Salad" takes place in an imaginary country, Metropolitania. A car accident occurs on the road, which allows the angels to pull a prank whose consequences are difficult to predict. In the accident, Palace, a hotel owner in the capital, and his driver, Pepi, lose their heads. Palace's guardian angel, Mironmarimora, is a little drunk and makes a technical mistake: he resurrects the two, but, by mistake, he switches their heads: Palace's white head is given to the black driver and vice versa. This is where the confusion and bizarre intrigue of the comedy begin. A great inheritance awaits one of the heroes. But who knows who is the true heir: the one with the original body or the original head? Whose is the beautiful Blanca? A show full of metaphors, "Head Salad" calls for cultivating personality and accumulating those riches that will remain enduring values - intelligence and humanism.
