Director's commentary

This story rhymes. like a poem, like the Ivrics of a song: Ever repeating events in a game of reflections and «mirages» between facing mirrors, a game where everything is the same and different at the same time.

The heroes struggle in the «whirlpool» of a realitv where charm is svnonvmous to the uncertainty. the mistakes, the con­tradictions and the retrogressions that characterize their begaviour. Nevertheless they make no effort to escape.

Charmed by this dangerous communica­tion game, thev try to live with one another, relying solely on their insticts. st) thev improv ise.

Fort theY know that «katharsis» will not come, unless they master the rules ol the game.
