There is a love triangle between a successful writer <span style="font-size: 12pt;">(unnamed) and two men in her life: Ivan and Malina. But perhaps they are aspects of herself or characters she has invented? Her besieged domestic world becomes more ridiculous the more she tries to hold it together.</span></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dreams and memories crash in and fire threatens to consume it all.

Here, he brings out all the violence and absurdity of Elfriede Jelinek's script. Both Jelinek and Schroeter interpret Bachmann's writing in their own way and the resulting film is a layered tour de force which is impossible to categorise.</div><div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The screening will start with an extended introduction by <b>Rastko Novaković</b>, programmer at Inclinations Film Club.
