The theatrical piece explores themes of power and tyranny, and the subtle use of manipulation and cunning to seize control over another person’s free will, all within the framework of dark comedy.

The story follows two brothers living together in the same house, whose lives are abruptly disrupted by the arrival of a cook and his dog. Claiming to improve their living conditions and bring order into their lives, the cook initially presents himself as a savior. However, this intervention soon takes a disturbing turn.

The situation escalates when the cook declares a seven-day period of mourning following the death of his dog. During this time, the brothers are subjected to complete deprivation of food and water, receiving only the cook’s services, under the false promise that their freedom will be restored once the seven days come to an end.

The conclusion exposes the harsh truth: that promised freedom was nothing but the greatest lie of all.
