David Tennant and Michael Sheen were set to star in a production of 'Six Characters in Search of an Author' on London's West End. The corona pandemic has put a stop to that, but their director is determined not to let the opportunity pass. He knows how great this opportunity is for him and tries to persuade his stars to rehearse via the Internet. They only have to read the first scene, but during the rehearsal they encounter all kinds of counterforces: distraction, boredom, homeschooling and their own ego.
