Inhaltsangabe:
Brausen is caring for his wife after a long illness. To compensate for the physical void which temporarily stalls their caresses, Brausen eavesdrops on his neighbours, a husband and wife; imagining their gestures and expressions. He also imagines stories of a mythical town called Santa Maria, and of a doctor named Diaz Grey.
But he not only wishes to imagine himself as someone else, he also seeks release from the world he knows. He leads many lives, some real and some fantastic, in order to experience a moment of psychic weightlessness - a 'brief life'.
