Die Videoarbeit für die von Tarik Goetzke inszenierte Uraufführung des Theaterstücks »Santa Monica« von Akın E. Sipal widmet sich ausschließlich der ersten Szene »Cool Jazz« des Stücks, das von der Krebserkrankung eines Jungen in Deutschland handelt. Dabei behandelt die erste Szene achronologisch das surreale Treffen des bereits geheilten nun schon jungen Mannes mit seiner Knochenmarksspenderin in Santa Monica.
