A family in exceptional circumstances: After the death of his mother, Pedro sets out on the search for his biological father. The mother had given him a few hints at his identity while she was alive. Pedro's furious search ends with a motorcycle accident and a coma. Now Pedro’s sister Lotte sits alone on the bed of her brother and sorts through his belongings. She digs through photos, memories, and fading scenes.

"The story appeared once in the morning newspapers, perhaps: the young man from Stuttgart had a motorcycle accident in Bueons Aires, and the young woman who witnessed it all from her doorway took him home, and the Swiss author Andreas Liebmann took artistic advantage of the moment. From one moment of a life, he created poetic scenes of memory ... And as theatrical material, the loosely joined sequence of scenes are marked in the subtitles. That is all meant programmatically - each production can make their own cut from these scenes ... Liebmann had already tried out similar principles in the context of his much too short-lived theater experiment in Wismar, and his piecemeal research at that time now makes a strong piece of theater.

"This man from Zurich, born in 1972, who participated in the Young Playwrights program Dramenprozessor, has moved away from his playful, small-scale beginnings, to something that is, almost, a great success. At any rate, it is a great concept: the young writer dares to take up all the old questions of life and death, time, infinity, and nothingness, and still preserves the self-assured ease of youth.
