Königsberg, 1784. It is November in Prussia. There is a growing sense that society is about to undergo significant social change. Philosopher Immanuel Kant sits down for lunch, following his usual ritual of eating long lunches in the company of men and, most importantly, avoiding any discussion of work. The conversation turns to illnesses and digestive troubles, but soon it becomes clear that these are not simple ailments, but something has happened to nature itself.
Marius Ivaškevičius' play presents the Kantian world in an engaging and witty manner. One era is coming to an end, and something new is about to be born - but what? Does the human control the nature or the other way around?
