Margit, once a renowned stage actress, now lives in isolation and deep poverty in the basement of the theatre.

Lacking experienced actors, he turns to Margit to take on the leading role. Blending tragedy and comedy through a contemporary and experimental approach, the play delves into the suffering and precarious conditions of theatre artists highlighting a reflection of the universal struggles faced by creators around the world.
