The film is an in-depth exploration of the 1957 production of Waiting For Godot, which served as the introduction to Martin Esslin's influential work, The Theater of the Absurd. It also delves into lesser-known German performances of the play, including a 1956 production at a Jewish Cultural Building, where former Nazis allegedly performed the play. Additionally, the film examines Beckett's study locale across the street from the Sante prison, and reveals a surprising connection between the playwright and prisoners, as uncovered by James Knowlson's biography Damned To Fame.
