Synopsis
The play focuses on a middle-aged woman entangled in her own web of anxieties and self-pity and on her gradually evolving decision to escape everything by committing suicide. But fate intercedes at a critical moment, and although nothing actually changes in the woman's situation, there is a change in her own attitude towards life.
