Ella and Sibylle are facing each other at the bed of a comatose patient, arguing. The patient is Ruben Katz, 83, an award-winning director. He is artificially fed and ventilated, the machines regulate his body temperature, blood pressure and heart rate. There is only one thing medicine cannot control: Ruben Katz’s imagination. The two women, each in a very different relationship with Katz, don’t have a clue: Katz is listening! Speechless and trapped he writes his own script of what he experienced and heard, hovering between life and death. What ensues is a surreal mixture of reality and illusion, sequences from Katz’s past, his professional ambitions, his wishes and dreams, and his respective relationships with Ella and Sibylle. 
This is a satirical comedy, a ménage à trois, enhanced by a fourth, artful dimension: the association, opulently presented from the patient’s perspective, the patient who only appears to be helpless and speechless at first sight.
