Duration: 23'
An actress is completely taken up in the role she is supposed to play. She shows up in a theater for a tryout. The director is not there yet, but instead there is a likeable technician who is very busy with the preparations for the scene. A relationship begins to grow between the two of them. As various events happen, the actress's attitude at the time she walked in begins to be chipped away at. In the end, she becomes more true, both as an actress and as a person. There is a scene of madness, which will reach a climax when she tries to knife the poor technician, who is guilty only of having whistled. (But, you know, this is bad luck in the theater). After this, it is the woman who is leading the game and this time in her own way. But the technician is none other than the muchawaited director: he is waiting for another actress for a try out. And the game will continue. Maybe...
