Details

A series of dinners where nothing really gets eaten, discussions with no communication, love stories in which no one really gets involved, and continuous music nobody ever listens to. The mist of alcohol, prostitutes, drugs, pom-poms and plots that disintegrate into the mugginess of a pool. The frontiers between real violence and games, victims and torturers keep shifting, as simple categories do not seem to embrace such a complex structure of power, loneliness and despair. On top of all that Mekhotov -a superstar, carries on his show and business deals despite the smiles that turn to grimaces, the hypnotising sound of his supposed daughter and a swollen corpse drifting in a swimming pool.
