A year of the pandemic has reduced our world to small bubbles in which we find ourselves all alone as part of a world event. Confronted with themselves, the two protagonists begin to deal with their suddenly reduced environment. Repeatingly they keep encountering the same topic: change or the absence of these. Every day there seem to be new changes in the pandemic developement and yet everyday life seems the same. What role do plans for the future play? Plans about which one was perhaps not even sure, but now seem all the more desirable because it is uncertain whether they will even be realistic again.
The aftermath seems to lie in uncertainty, the days drag on endlessly and the little joys that you have learned to appreciate again give you a painful sting.
It also seems that as time progresses in social isolation with an often invisible and therefore incomprehensible threat on one's own doorstep, reality takes on more and more surreal features.
The following applies: preparing for the end and a new beginning in a time that seems endless.
The spectators accompany the protagonists through the circles they draw in their little bubble, between uncertainty and courage, rediscovery and clinging to the familiar.
