During the lock down there was a huge food crisis in various parts of the country (which continues due to lack of employment). Millions of workers have lost their jobs and they receive very little support from the government regarding food and other necessities. Consequently, hunger is as much an epidemic as the virus is a pandemic. In addition, the virus has been introduced into the country by the rich. It came through people who would have flown to other countries, but the hardest price is paid by the poor.

The piece is about a family of three women, a mother and two daughters who tell each other stories and fake the food on their plate, in order to walk the hard line between hunger and dignity. This scene is written from the experience of witnessing this hunger over and over again. By being part of a group that makes modest efforts to alleviate hunger as much as possible.
