The play explores the meanings of the body and mind in today's world. The miraculouspossibilities offered by technological development are present in the work, but not at its centre. The play'smost important themes are related to overcoming grief, questions of identity and authenticityin the present and in our near future. Kristi and Tom have been dreaming of a baby for some time. Now this dream is coming true – Kristi is pregnant. Then Kristi gets into a car accident and dies, but the baby survives. At the same time as Kristi's death certificate, Tom receives the information that the woman had recorded her consciousness. This consciousness is handed over to Tom in the form of a small chip. It would be possible to activate the chip and allow Tom to communicate with Kristi. So Tom activated the chip. Their communication feels real. Kristi jokes, sings to their baby, talks to Tom. The man longs for Kristi's physical and mental presence in every cell of his body, and the grief is too overwhelming. Tom has the opportunity to transfer hisdigitized consciousness to a surrogate body. Tom chooses a new body for Kristi, which comes back to life. They are now trying to pick up where Kristi's lifeleft off.
