The play features actors of the younger generation (24-30 years old) embodying characters of their own age. The main theme of the play, of course, is love: how to find it and what we call love these days; how and when to love when we are all so busy, rushing, running, spending so much time on self-realization, career, work, while leaving feelings aside, procrastinating? Questions are raised: why is finding a close person more of an exception than a rule? Why do young people, who actually seek and want the same thing, still fail to communicate? Why does fear often prevent us from meeting and being together?
