In act I an aging woman is sitting in a burnt-out landscape, buried to the chest in a sand hill. In act II the sand is up to the neck. It does not seem to bother her. She talks cheerfully and steadily about wind and weather, everyday things and memories from the past. From time to time we hear grunting from her husband. This is a frightening portrait of adult childishness within the Doomsday Vision.
