In the waiting room of the ferry terminal in the Spanish port of Algeciras are two elderly Irish people - Maurice and Charlie, longtime smuggling partners. They are waiting for the arrival of the vessel from Tangier. Or a vessel to Tangier? They search for Charlie's daughter, who fled Ireland after her mother's death. Charlie is waiting for a meeting and reconciliation, he is restless in his soul. This night vigil in the spirit of Samuel Beckett is just a canvas for time travel, fun and sad at the same time. Kevin Barry is one of the most famous and titled contemporary Irish writers, winner of the Dublin Literary Prize.
