About the work
Love Soldiers is a drama that grew from the alter ego the scriptwriter created to survive
her own drama: Mona Lisa. She is a woman who cares for and helps her husband for months
in intensive care. However, the story does not focus on her love story but on discover-
ing life and courage with the other women with whom she shares the waiting room.
They are heroes in spite of themselves; anonymous and serene. Sometimes they are about
to lose their minds, to throw in the towel, yet they can laugh at the most dramatic
situations, sleepwalk, become exhausted to breaking point, but always at the foot of the
bed of a relative or companion. They hum to them; they tell them stories from outside;
they lie to them; they don’t let the patients see how exhausted they are themselves.
But when they are in the waiting room they recognize each other, relax and form a family. They are an army of soldiers caring for the fallen.
Each chapter is a story about one of these soldiers of love. They are nearly always
women, since according to statistics 80-90% of carers in the world are women.
The female couple waiting for a heart for their girl; the workaholic who drops everything
to care for an adolescent whose name nobody knows; the daughter caring for the domineer-
ing mother until she decides to change her for the good-willed woman in the waiting room;
the nurse who gives her all for her patient to walk again; the son who takes advantage
of the loss of his mother to be what she always asked him to be: heterosexual…and Mona
Lisa, the one who arrived first, the one who is always with him, her husband, much older
than her, the love of her life.
They all criss-cross each other’s paths in that waiting room. That space is a world
apart. Love Soldiers does not have the dizzying pace of operating theatres or ER, nor
does it have romantic scenes between doctors, nor does it show the illnesses of the pa-
patients who have to remain in the hospital. The world of Love Soldiers is an army of the
kindest, most valiant women I have known. You come across them every day; you can rec-
recognize them by the grey under their eyes and the big smile from ear to ear.
