In May 1915, in war-torn Budapest, the City Park is a small oasis. In a secluded part of the park, at a beautiful tree, fate brings three strangers together. The young couple and the man preparing to commit suicide mutually hinder each other in carrying out their evening plans. The only solution: one of them must leave. They engage in a passionate fight for the bench under the tree, while they involuntarily begin to get to know each other. But fate intervenes again and puts a twist on the situation. The wind of the First World War blows everything, and those who want to escape and dream somehow manage to break away from it. In Ernő Szép's one-act play, Life itself gives hope for the future – it does not let go, it clings to even those who have already given up on it.
“I want good. I want you to live. I don't know who you are, what you are, I don't know right now either. But I see, I feel that you are alive. "I can't leave you here with this tree tonight."
