Synopsis: In this world (Earth), some processes move backwards compared to our world. A coffin is dug out of the ground, the person inside is moved to a bed and starts breathing, etc. Eating, talking etc. seems to function normally. One remembers the past, but an emotional reaction to a future event is possible. In this world we follow a man from tomb to womb.
