Two women—Alma and Baya—live in a module on an unspecified, inhospitable planet. They can only venture outside in spacesuits, and they long ago gave up trying to grow crops. Their days follow a monotonous routine: occasionally adjusting the module, staying alert for alarm signals, and regularly sending reports to those who sent them there. Other modules operate in a similar way nearby—or so they assume; they have never actually met anyone else. One day, however, a third woman—a stranger—arrives. She claims her module has failed and her own Alma has died. While Baya is welcoming, Alma is suspicious; something doesn't add up. Moreover, given the limited supplies and space within the module, only two people can truly live—and, more importantly, survive—there.

This play by American playwright, translator, and director Edward Einhorn explores themes of resource availability and the organized struggle for survival, as well as the challenge of grappling with memories of the world as it once was and adapting to new conditions where there is certainly not enough room for everyone. It is a near-future drama charged with thriller-like tension and dialogue full of surprising twists.
