Vasile Alecsandri

Pretentious Chirita weaves big matrimonial plans, because oh, oh what a pain / to have unmarried girls!. Dissatisfied with the boyars who aspire to the hand of her daughters, she descends in Iasi with the opportunity to find them better suitors. Entanglements, chases, travesties, fainting, tricks, twirls, romances, serenades, a king of triviality given as humor and irony.

The Bârzoi manor comes back to life when the lady of the house, Chirița, sends news that she will be soon coming back from Paris. As the City of Light has changed her views on the world, the family and the help must follow.
