There, she is haunted by her perplexed, recently deceased lover, Ehud, who cannot understand her rejection of common sense, sex and a simple life in favour of vain metaphysical speculations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a stream-of-consciousness monologue, Hillé speaks of her search for spiritual fulfilment from a space of dereliction.
