The two brothers, Helmy and Diaa, work in a car repair shop, while their mother works as a dancer in a nightclub.
Every day, when she goes out to work, one of the brothers disguises herself in her clothes to imitate her, and exercises the same dominance over the other with which she treats them.
In a theatrical text based on the play “The Maids” by the French writer Jean Genet, and taking place in the poor post-war neighborhoods of Damascus, Zain Saleh raises the questions that an entire generation suffers from about power, family, asylum, and gender.
The rise of the Third Reich, World War II, the fall of Nazism, the disintegration of Germany, the rise of East Germany, the fall of the communist states, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Terms that may pass over in history books, but they carry dozens of questions: What really happened? How did families who found themselves on opposite sides, divided between opposing ideas and warring countries, live? What does it mean to live in a country that suddenly disappears, and the enemy becomes part of the homeland?
The first thing Maxim Leo learned was to refrain from any questions, even about his family history. Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, he too decides to break the wall of silence in order to understand what really happened there, with his family, with his grandparents, with his parents, and with himself. To answer the most difficult question: What was so important that it made us strangers to each other even today?
هناك جثة خامسة، وهناك جثث أخرى غيرها تنتظر دورها فى الرواية، وهناك عمال المشرحة المذعورين.. هناك لعنة غامضة تمرح خفية بين الجميع وهناك شر محدق، وكارثة أخشاها بشدة تنتظر أن تتحقق.. هناك طبيب نفسي عجوز يعرف الكثير جدا، وما يعرفه يثير الهلع في النفوس، فهل يحتفظ به لنفسه، أم يخبرهم ليبصيبهم بالجنون؟!.
