Playwright Anton Chekhov is dying of tuberculosis. While he is living his last days, the characters in his ploys haunt him. Chekhov interacts with the characters in scenes where they imagine how they would live outside and beyond the plays. On the other hand, he is moving towards his own death. The play offers philosophical reflections on writing and death, as well as on a writer who can no longer write, who is lost in his past and imagination, unable to find a way to move forward in art or life.
