A woman gives birth to herself at a clinic in Belgium. A man must become his wife for a night. A boy discovers a hidden entrance to the human interior.

In a surprising interplay between humor and seriousness, the short stories in this collection push the boundaries of reality. There are bizarre situations and stubborn individuals that are forced to make unexpected choices. The stories are marked by Mikkel Bugge’s unique ability to expand the genre. The characters yearn for a sense of belonging in an uncertain world where genetic engineering, human cloning, self-assertion, and imitation make it increasingly challenging to find one’s true self.
