"I gave up before I was born… it wasn't possible otherwise… something had to be born. After all… it was her… and I was inside". Images and sound to represent Beckett's text, Failure II through the physical presence of a young actress. Therefore, the double. Documentary and fiction. Reality and representation, in fact. Two extremities of the same path. Voices on the telephone that do not ever meet. Seeking. A train that is always leaving, but never arrives. Going. A few actions. Always the same actions. Repeating. You aren't the same any more. I'm no longer the same any more. Dying. "I don't have anything more in my head. I will put in everything that's needed".
