On a ship journey to Europe, engineer Walter Faber falls in love with the young Elisabeth and offers to accompany her on a road trip to Athens, where "Sabeth's" mother lives. Already in Avignon, the first night of love occurs for the mismatched couple. Although the scientifically-minded Faber soon learns that Sabeth is the daughter of his youthful love, Hannah, he suppresses the possibility that Sabeth could be his own daughter. Shortly before reaching Athens, catastrophe strikes: bitten by a snake, Sabeth falls and hits her head on a rock. However, in the Athens hospital, where the snake bite is treated, Faber fails in his emotional turmoil to inform the doctors about Sabeth's fall. The tragic consequence: the unknowingly committed incest demands its moral sacrifice.
Konstanze Kappenstein will adapt the 1991 film by Volker Schlöndorff of the Swiss author Max Frisch's novel for the stage.
