In Turin, a factory is being shut down, and workers are getting fired. Stuck within the factory, a laborer, a trade unionist, and a clerk await rescuing, and reflect upon thirty years of Italian history that led to this point—from the kidnapping and assassination of Aldo Moro up to the present day.

What makes a country, a country? Felice Farina’s provocative drama wrestles with this existential question through witty and incisive dialogue. Thoroughly debated over the course of one faithful night, the foundations of Italy, marked by victories as well as broken dreams, are laid startlingly bare.
