The film touches deeply on classes and existential social
issues alongside a layered view of its medium and format.
The film presents encounters with characters taken from
Tal's immediate environment:
a young and tormented artist in a depressive attack, a
friend debating whether to stay or leave a relationship
maintained for 10 years in the shadow of BDSM
The environment becomes the studio and from their the
work materials are taken and processed, Depression,
animals, sensitivity, sexuality, intimacy, anxiety, excitement.
The Characters are the materials, through which a picture
of reality’s margins are formed. The present is young,
scratchy and conflicted, apocalyptic and in contrast
(capitalism, maturity, bourgeoisie, good order). Grasping a
periodic moment and the existential riddles that
characterize it revolve around truth, cognition, awareness,
subjectivism and narcissism.
Part of the film is documentary and part is staged. The
staged scenes are re-enactments of original filmed
materials delivered by actresses. The blurring of
distinctions between documentary and staged scenes
creates disposition in viewing and parallels the ground
dropping below the viewer to that which appears on the
screen.
