A drama about family secrecy and inheritance which makes its points by artfulness of form and clever doubling of parts, as well as by debate. In the first half of the play, a brother and sister meet for the reading of their architect father's will. An ex-lover of the woman's, the son of their father's partner, arrives; it turns out that he is a chief beneficiary of the will. Why? The second half answers the question by going back 30 years to the Sixties and tracing a crucial period in the lives of these characters' mothers and fathers: each actor now plays her or his parent. The device - with its deceiving resemblances and differences - graphically explains how misunderstanding rumbles through generations.
