Two couples, who seem close and connected, get caught in a web of desire, guilt, and lies. What drives them? Is it passion? Do they want to escape daily life? Or are they missing something deep inside? Secrets are whispered, and the truth is twisted. How much do they hide from each other—as lovers and as friends? And what responsibility do they take for their own actions?
While the performers show their emotions through movement in Ahlbom’s unique physical style, their words and feelings are heard through voice-overs. What is spoken out loud—and what is left unsaid?

This poetic play lets us feel the pain, doubt, and strength of people in transformation.
