The story takes place in the small town where a university is located in the United States from early morning to dawn in September. It tells the gathering of a middle-aged couple who has been married for 20 years and the same young couple who had just arrived to visit-the poor young man found out , This party was not for joy from the beginning.
The party started with a nervous conversation and ended in quarrels, sarcasm, sarcasm, revealing scars, sex, and peace after the madness. Every sentence in the dialogue touches people's nerves, and the rhythm changes from slow to fast, gradually reaching a climax, and abruptly eased during the most crisis, which makes people want to stop.
The hysteria of the heroine Martha and her husband George sometimes restrained the tension that broke out from time to time, and the reason was the deep hatred between them that could not be parted. This hatred comes from Martha's initial pursuit of George, from their unequal marriage, from the mediocrity in George's career, from the unbalanced expectation of each other, and from their most secret secrets that Martha accidentally revealed in this early morning. The secret is the illusion that maintains their married life-their imaginary son.
Before dawn, George got inspiration from the ringtone mentioned by the young woman: their son is dead. He announced the death of his son, he decided the death of his son. This imaginary son who was supposed to spend his sixteenth birthday on this Sunday in September, this 16-year "life", was informed by a telegram that also came from imagination to his "parents" that he possesses The acrimonious "parents" of intellectuals who can't live their lives: He is dead.
Life is full of pain. The middle-aged couple on the university campus used various methods to wrap up the holes in life. But before the sun rose, they had to wake up from a big dream because of the leak of the secret. There are shadows everywhere under the sun, and this awakening is just another more difficult beginning.
The story in the second half of the night points directly to the essence of life: whether it is reality or imagination. In other words, if the escape from indulging in fantasy will come to an end, in what way will the cruelty of facing reality be more cruelly accepted.
