synopsis
In a silent recording of a studio performance, filmed twice in succession on the same 8mm film, Ion Grigorescu, wearing the mask of the Romanian president, sits in a chair next to Ion Grigorescu, both facing the camera, alternately delivering speeches whose fading, illegible transcript partially over-laps the depicted scene of an imaginary dialogue between a citizen and totalitarian power.
