This play is ironic dramatic caricature. Impulse to write an absurd play came from observations of society actions, from realizing that in the background of the current government absurd is no longer nonsense but reflection of repeating political and social events. It is a critical commentary on today’s Lithuania composed of short legends from the media. Caricature is developed through lines of three children - standard, taken and killed. Who didn’t cut nail for whom? Who has been locked in a room? Who bought artificial snow and put it in a place unreachable for kids? Play consciously refuses to deepen into parents-children archetypes, here they are only a medium to transmit views on defects of current public communications which is determinant for common sense of confusion in the society.

This play is about a woman who tries to escape her problems by establishing a new state. It is an interactive play so audience is also participating in seven day long process of establishment. Audience is making all the decisions, from the name of the country to destinies of the characters. In those seven days main characters’ motivation comes clear, country is prospering, attracts attention from all over the world and suffers a disaster.

Like its main character, the play is walking the thin line between reality and fantasy. The world, developed in the beginning of the play starts to crumble when she remembers recent events of her life. Finally, when wall of fantasy start falling down both the audience and the characters see that the country they’ve established looks differently in real world.
