Croatia, 2020. 11′
Searching for her role, a young actress is trying to figure out what she sees in her own reflection. She notes that her outline, although blurred enough that she doesn’t have to be ashamed of her sleepless and tired face, is actually unrecognizable. Due to the long-term , almost incurable insomnia, the world around the young Actress is fading. Objects and space parameters are gone, the time frames have been lost. We are left with the expression of the Actress’s body as well as the flow of her thoughts in the background.
