The play follows Bini, a man who has spent 50 years waiting for the chance to reunite with Rutha, his childhood sweetheart, and return with her to the neighborhood where they grew up in Dubrovnik, Croatia. When Rutha is widowed, Bini believes the moment has finally arrived. He purchases a one-way ticket for the two of them and prepares to tell his wife, Naomi, that he is leaving. However, upon arriving home, he unexpectedly finds himself at the surprise golden wedding anniversary celebration that his family has organized for him and Naomi. As loved ones gather to honor the couple, Bini faces an impossible choice between following his heart and protecting the people closest to him.
