Published in 1999, Line Knutzon's play "Snart Komen Tiden" (The Time Will Come Soon) marked an important point in the Danish playwright's career, achieving a resounding success in the adaptation by Dr. Dantes Aveny Theatre in Copenhagen.

The play is more about married life than youth, unlike most of Knutzon's writings, "At 20, you chase a bunch of dreams, but at some point, you realize that you've fulfilled them all... and you have nothing left to dream about. So you wake up to reality now, a terrible shock: what's next? You might be afraid of death... Which begins to make its presence felt, becoming more and more oppressive."

Rebekka and Hilbert's married life is long over. They should probably get a divorce. Although it seems like no time has passed, they suddenly find themselves with children. Hilbert hired a housekeeper, Oda, as a gift for Rebekka, so that she would have time to have time. Oda introduces herself as the descendant of a childless family... Rebekka fears that Oda has come to kill her and her husband, but despite this, she orders the housekeeper to prepare her 55th birthday party, to which Micuta, the couple's daughter, is also expected. Even Rebekka's ex-boyfriend, John, shows up, along with his fiancée Ingrid. Micuta shows up, but surprise: she's 50!
