Set during the smallpox outbreak, the play follows Ali, a young man anxiously waiting at an old harbour for the return of his father, who had left for Bombay, India, to find a cure for his ill wife. Trapped in an endless cycle of waiting, Ali never sees the medicine arrive, and his mother passes away, leaving only her and her husband’s story behind.
