A metaphysical grief drama that uses personified abstractions and ensemble support to guide a bereaved man toward acceptance and reconnection.

Retreating from life after a tragedy, a man questions the universe by writing to Love, Time and Death. Receiving unexpected answers, he begins to see how these things interlock and how even loss can reveal moments of meaning and beauty.
