Synopsis: The protagonist of the play, André, is 80 years old. In his youth, he was a dancer. He lives in Paris with his daughter, Anna, and her husband, Antoine. Or perhaps André was once an engineer, and his daughter lives in London with her new boyfriend, Pierre? Why is André still in his pajamas and can't find his watch? So many strange things are happening, and all these strangers seem to be behaving strangely! Whatever the case, André is convinced that he is still a strong person and will find a way to defend his truth. After all, he is not senile; his mind works perfectly... or does it?!
