Plot
Zara, was born into a Muslim family and fell in love with Ajay, a Hindu. Religion however, has no influence on this couple’s relationship. Unfortunately the story revolves around Zara who was exposed to an unfaithful, physically, emotionally and mentally abusive husband for many years. Zara did not immediately abandon Islam but eventually embraced Hinduism for the sake of her husband and daughter. Ajay comes from a wealthy family and although he showers his wife and daughter with materialistic possessions, he feels this licenses him to illicit affairs – from having an affair with Zara’s sister to having an affair with a young black 18-year-old. Ajay sees no wrong in his behavior as he is the sole provider in his household. Zara is hugely dependent on Ajay, her parents died when she was young; her brothers are married and have their own lives to deal with, and her “best friend” - her sister turned out to be her worst enemy. Zara, like many other women is afraid of society and how they will stigmatize her if she had to leave her husband or seek help….she eventually finds a way out of her misery, but…is it a “way out”?

Film is a 1965 film written by Samuel Beckett, his only screenplay. It was commissioned by Barney Rosset of Grove Press. Writing began on 5 April 1963 with a first draft completed within four days. A second draft was produced by 22 May and a forty-leaf shooting script followed thereafter. It was filmed in New York in July 1964.
Beckett’s original choice for the lead – referred to only as “O” – was Charlie Chaplin, but his script never reached him. Both Beckett and the director Alan Schneider were interested in Zero Mostel and Jack MacGowran. However, the former was unavailable and the latter, who accepted at first, became unavailable due to his role in a "Hollywood epic." Beckett then suggested Buster Keaton. Schneider promptly flew to Los Angeles and persuaded Keaton to accept the role along with "a handsome fee for less than three weeks' work."James Karen, who was to have a small part in the film, also encouraged Schneider to contact Keaton.
The filmed version differs from Beckett's original script but with his approval since he was on set all the time, this being his only visit to the United States. The script printed in Collected Shorter Plays of Samuel Beckett (Faber and Faber, 1984) states:
Lubrication theory
In fluid dynamics, lubrication theory describes the flow of fluids (liquids or gases) in a geometry in which one dimension is significantly smaller than the others. An example is the flow above air hockey tables, where the thickness of the air layer beneath the puck is much smaller than the dimensions of the puck itself.
Internal flows are those where the fluid is fully bounded. Internal flow lubrication theory has many industrial applications because of its role in the design of fluid bearings. Here a key goal of lubrication theory is to determine the pressure distribution in the fluid volume, and hence the forces on the bearing components. The working fluid in this case is often termed a lubricant.
Free film lubrication theory is concerned with the case in which one of the surfaces containing the fluid is a free surface. In that case the position of the free surface is itself unknown, and one goal of lubrication theory is then to determine this. Surface tension may then be significant, or even dominant. Issues of wetting and dewetting then arise. For very thin films (thickness less than one micrometre), additional intermolecular forces, such as Van der Waals forces or disjoining forces, may become significant.
