The play explores the harsh realities faced by individuals in the working class, particularly focusing on issues of legal recognition and societal injustice regarding family structures. Its narrative is driven by the critique of legal frameworks that often fail to protect the vulnerable, showcasing the emotional turmoil experienced by its characters in the wake of tragedy. The story centers around Hélène, a grieving widow whose partner, Louis Charbonnier, has died in an industrial accident. Despite their seven years of companionship and their son, Charles, being practically a family, Hélène finds herself excluded from legal protections and inheritance due to their unmarried status. Dupont, a supportive neighbor, tries to advocate for Hélène but faces the cold reality of the law that privileges formal marriages. As the play unfolds, it highlights the struggle between moral obligations and rigid legal definitions, ultimately depicting Hélène's desperate situation and emotional breakdown due to her lack of societal recognition and impending homelessness, drawing attention to broader themes of injustice and the need for legal reform.
