Laws of Drama

Pennanen Anu

Laws of Drama is based on a loosely written triangle drama: A meets B meets C. Amateur actors, each of them with different native languages, sit and stare at each other. The camera is competing with the presence and gaze of the other actors. Is the happily developing relation between A and B disturbed by C or the artist behind the viewfinder?
