SEITSEMÄS KOHTAUS.
In a spare stage marked by three doors and a solitary desk, a married couple settles into an evening of sharp repartee. Tuure, a modest cashier, and his wife Siiri, a witty and somewhat weary woman, take opposite armchairs and begin a conversation that teeters between affection and accusation. Their dialogue crackles with humor as they spar over everyday grievances and the odd symbolism of a hat.
The banter quickly turns to a seemingly trivial debate about Siiri's ever‑changing headwear—winter, spring, summer hats—yet each comment reveals deeper tensions about status, expectations, and the roles they play in each other's lives. As the clock ticks toward an approaching eclipse, the couple's exchange oscillates between flirtatious teasing and pointed challenges, inviting listeners into a compact, character‑driven comedy that feels both intimate and universally relatable.
