CURRENT PRODUCTIONS  

While researching a role for a feature film, a director and an actor end up continuing the director’s unfinished documentary about our relationship to “the foreign Other” — with help from two other creators, in a country ravaged by war. The hybrid film moves between documentary material, reenactments and fiction. 

2028, in an unspecified European country under invasion. Documentary film director Elisabeth tries to highlight the world’s behaviour towards the invaded population by depicting how the local “fixer”, Anna, is treated by the foreigners she assists — an attempt that unravels when Anna turns the gaze of Elisabeth and her crew back on them.
