It is August, night time, Târgovişte in Rumania. Laur is going to be 23 tonight and is in the process of committing suicide. He has just returned from New York City to his hometown. Laur's friend Adi, an 18-year old student, suddenly turns up with a couple of beers. Adi and his girlfriend Irina are Laur's best friends and the only people who know that he has returned. The couple ran away from home to work as actors in the capital. It is a night in which Laur has to face up to the truth about his life. Peca Ştefan (*1982) is one of the most innovative playwright in Rumania.
