Notes: A collection of black and white photographs, taken by Herminio Alberti, of the ruins of the "Casa de Caoba" (House of Mahogany), in San Cristóbal, Dominican Republic, accompanied by the poems of José Mármol. The three-story house, built in 1940, was the country residence of the dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo de Molina and was used for extramarital affairs, orgies and rape. The poetry and images narrate the pain and injustice suffered by women at the hands of the dictator in that house.

Accompanying DVD-R combines readings of the poems by Mármol and sound effects with a dramatic presentation of the photographs.
