Humourous social drama. Iraqi Said lives at the centre of a european capital with Hayat, his Iranian partner. He captures a European who by mistake enters in his space. He keeps him hostage and the tortures he makes him suffer are to teack him Arabic history and chess. They live together seven days and nights. Initially trapped in the clash between them, they find a way of communication briefly. Hayat brings them close with stories from «A thousand and one nights» and divides them re-establishing the rivalry in love. Everything is played like a game of chess, unpredictable until the end. A play not about diversity but about resemblence.
