A middle-aged woman, Winnie, finds herself increasingly submerged in a mound of earth. An incurable optimist, she uselessly follows the daily routine of her life. Over the passage of time, the few possessions left in her bag gradually dwindle and her only companion becomes more distant. In Happy Days, written in Paris in 1961, Beckett once again explores the pain and humour of time an existence.
