I.) Both artists are simultaneously attending the border between Austria and
Hungary. They've never met before. The two women are carrying a parcel each.
The parcels contain certain elements of life- 'sound-loads'.
II.) After meeting in between the borders - on a former checkpoint - they
continue their journey together until they and their parcels appear again in
the evening, on vivid places in the city of Vienna.
What is inside the parcels? No one knows what they really are carrying. Is
the inside hiding a baby coming to this world, or is there a woman giving
birth, or is there just a nameless body - alive or dead? Nobody can see but
some people can hear.
