Description
You don't know whether he is a man or a woman,
Is he a writer or a scientist, does he live alone or in
Partnership. What is certain is that there are at least five people who are close to him.
An artist is among them, a member of an NGO, a political scientist, a
teacher. And they all experience a lockdown. The interesting thing: the lockdown
brings them into closer contact with each other than the time before. Your medium
is the telephone. In their phone calls, they discuss their situation,
share their worries, concerns and fears, and they try to look ahead.
A film project is created and develops into a ritual of reading aloud evenings
on the phone, in which the artist is among the
friends the narrator mentally and emotionally in stories of love,
Suffering, hatred, passion, despair, death, obscene politics and eroticism
before releasing him into the sleep of another lockdown night.
