There is a character who knows that he is a character, a powerless victim of a screenplay - life - written by the most severe screenwriter for a film that talks of love, i.e. "death". The attempt to escape to the easiest absence of them all - sleep - is in vain. In this state, where the link between the body and the soul gets thinnest - he meets himself and asks himself about the end of his great love.
