After their deaths, two women and a man are locked in a room by a demonic waiter. For what purpose, they themselves do not know. As they gradually begin to sense that they are destined to expose one another's life lies and thereby torment each other endlessly, they become entangled in a power game with no hope of escape.
The themes Sartre explores in his play are more relevant than ever. For especially in the age of Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, the questions arise:
Do I exist when I am alone, or only through the gaze of others? Who am I? Am I merely a reflection of others?"
