A child has died, and that loss lies beneath this story, together with a relationship in which a secret and growing suspicion keep everyone on edge. For the protagonist nothing can be proven or relied on; the absurd has become simply the ground underfoot. A power cut serves as the image for the distance and the broken connection between people who should be closest. As the unease piles up, sign upon sign, the protagonist looks on without the strength to act, feeling themselves fade into someone with no substance at all.
