A play about love and marital failure caused by social differences.
Stunned and shocked by the ruthless decision of her husband Hasan-aga, that she should abandon her home, her nest and her firstborn, Hasanaginica from the beginning to the very end of this tragedy, is morally, mentally and physically destroyed by the environment in which she lives, where the male principle holds the fate of women and the right to take the role of God, to rule the lives of others.
In the last scene where Hasanaginica wants to say goodbye to her child, in a display of human weakness to carry a social mask which was imposed by others, she rests her head on the crib, and dies.

At the very end of the play Hasan-aga's nest descends to the level of the platforms, that symbolizes Hasan-aga's "landing", ie dealing with the painful fact when he realized what he lost.
Hasanaginica's nest transforms by slowly desintegrating, presenting her mental and physical destruction.
The areas around the platforms and the two nests are filled with airbags that inflate and diflate during the performance and symbolize an abstract space full of rubble and stones thereby evoking the ambience of desolation and cold.
Also, the inflation and deflation of the bags present Hasanagicina's breathing, and at the end, the bags totally deflate symbolizing her death.
