Clemens Koetsdorp is a lonely grieving widower who accidentally killed his own wife in a car accident a few years ago. Filled with regret he tries to find a way to see her again. Technology gives him the opportunity to create a time vacuum in his house which means that one room in his house is still in the time before his wife died. Everytime his wife leaves this room she will evaporate since no technology can totally bring back the dead. Untill now he tried to meet her with this system, with success. But every time she decides to leave the cellar, she evaporates again. This is when Clemens decides to make sure she won’t leave the cellar by tying her down to a chair. His wife obviously doesn’t understand why he does this. Clemens, hungry to intimacy, wants to touch his wife. As he does this, she totally flips. He runs off again to his computer room where he carefully monitors the process. At last she manages to untie herself and tried to leave the room. As Clemence sees this on his CCTV system, he tries to run for it and prevent her from leaving the cellar. He is too late and sees his wife evaporate again. Devastated he makes the decision to again reboot the system and bring his wife back to the point where she wakes up in the middle of the cellar. As he sees this on his monitor, he immediately regrets this. He realizes that this won’t work. He attempts to shut down the computer. By shutting down the computer, the time vacuum will also shut down. As his computer is counting to shut down, he decides to run for it to get a last gaze at what used to be his lover.
