original title: Început de coerență

year: 1981

running time: 8 min.

synopsis

A story of a man, a woman, and an image that cannot be retold but which somehow holds together, perhaps thanks to the endless corridor in which the individual actors meet and exchange telling glances. As a bonus, there are fragments of the Romanian eighties in the form of filterless cigarettes, battering rams, long coats, and mustaches.
