The play was inspired by F. Kafka. Homophobia and suicide are the main themes of the play.
Vlad - also called Josef K. - receives a strange message under his door. He brings this message to an unknown place. Suddenly he is caught in a spotlight and “The Voice” starts asking him questions. The witness Leni is called. Josef K. knows Leni as well as Leni knows Josef K.. She says that Josef K. should be punished because he is a homosexual. Leni’s accusation triggers Josef K.’s memory. He confesses why he was not able to give Leni her biggest wish in life, a child. Leni is not convinced, but it is too late. The decision by Josef K. has already been made. Leni finds scattered pages of Josef K.’s letter which he brought with him. She thinks that she will find the answer in it, but...
Her accusation is her punishment. Leni is asked to return the next day.
