The gulls were resting in their nests and, on clear nights, Tora roamed the beaches, approached the birds and watching them in their beady eyes of a bird. He felt a sudden happiness at being alone, to be living something for which nobody had words. That meant a kind of naked vulnerability that gave him a good feeling.

An intense story that runs in the form of a dance of two, a sensual dance and desperate. Like a last dance, a last night. 'The Seagull' is a monologue that is produced in a Hungarian night while Europe is immersed in the war. A monologue, rarely interrupted by summoned Aino Laine, the Finnish girl, who ran for the morning ahead of the protagonist, putting at risk the apparent calm of this, his calmness, serenity, and the routine that is involved, because he knows he is no longer young, who is fifty years old and for him it means give up living certain passions, love some, certain feelings and Finnish girl shakes her quiet and orderly world.

These three facts are more powerful than any human will and strength. Because there are couples, Aino Laine, two people swept away in space towards each other by a single wave, which can not be avoided, they can not escape each other, or going north or west, nor to India or the grave ... must come back in space and time to meet.
