Gone

Summary

Imagine two people, a man and a woman, standing and looking out of the window of their idyllic house in an idyllic village. It is the depth of night and they are watching a mysterious stranger in their garden. A mysterious stranger, with a shovel in his hands, who is digging his own grave.

The wife knows who the man is but has concealed from her husband the fact of their passionate relationship. When the stranger then proceeds to blow his own brains out, the couple fulfill his last wish…
So begins "Gone", a surreal game of love, life and death, fiction and reality, takes place on that seam where fiction and reality meet.
In flashbacks we learn the story of the deceased, an author who is suffering from writer’s block and has subsequently turned his back on the world, and how he meets a suicidal and psychotic publisher whom he turns into the main character of his latest novel. Events in real life and the novel interact and parallel each other, giving rise to a fatally passionate relationship which ends in lethal consequences.
