A young poet, Paul Susser, meets his master, the great author Samuel Beckett, in a small café. The two men initiate a complex friendship that spans the last two decades of Beckett’s life and forever changes Paul’s future. After Beckett’s death, Paul meets an actress who wants to play Krapp, Beckett’s most autobiographical male character. By opening himself up to this woman he will finally come to terms with Beckett’s legacy. A study in humanity, poetry, and the creative process.
