Time is the great mystery of the universe. Its counterpart, death, is the great taboo of our society.
The passage of time and the looming presence of death also serve as central themes for comedy, especially when these subjects are approached with humor and irony. The theme of time tends to lead to philosophical musings and absurdity, while death is the central focus of dark humor.

They gather at a crash site to pay tribute to their missing brother. But what truly occurred? And who exactly are they?
Without delving into philosophy or reclining on a psychoanalyst's couch, during moments of idleness or sleepless nights, we all contemplate the meaning of life. Well, at least the meaning of our own lives. We ask ourselves small questions without substantial answers. Or even big questions without a tiny hint of an answer. Unless the daily routine suddenly derails, sending us, dizzy, to the edge of the unfathomable abyss of meaning. A troubled depth can then surface, revealing, amidst the waves, like a sea monster, a one-way street... which constitutes the tragi-cosmic essence of our everyday existences. A comical dive into the depths of our superficial lives...
