Overview
Synopsis
In a series of bedrooms across the city (some tidier than others), a group of people navigate life and love in the middle of a global pandemic. They are all in their own form of isolation, but what does this mean for their relationships? And when will their isolation end? Confusion, frustration, reassurance, and panic abound as everyone wades into the unknown.
"There's no question of heroism in all this. It's a matter of common decency. That's an idea which may make some people smile, but the only means of fighting a plague is — common decency."
The Plague, Albert Camus (1947)
