The play is in two parts, each set in a living room. The two living rooms have identical furniture but are in different countries. In each part a family gathers as a young man goes off to war. Each family, locked in hatred, tries to come to terms with the war taking place around them and on their TV screens. The same six actors appear in each of the parts, playing different characters but with some lines of dialogue from the first part repeated in the second. In both parts a troublesome child is locked in a room; in both, one of the characters is drinking too much, and two others are having a clandestine affair.
