A dying boy namely Amal who is the main character of the play, is confined to his room because of an incurable disease. He looks out his side-room window at milk man from the village near the hills, a little girl with a basket of flowers, a watchman ringing the bells, the cruel Lamberdar and the postman who brings letters from the king. He talks and makes friend with them all despite their ages and backgrounds, taking in stories and their perceptions of the world.
