Everything is right before
Anna Antsalo, Zodiak - Center for New Dance
The film captures a moment on the verge of beginning. An actor prepares for a shoot while the crew waits. Instead of moving forward, the actor is overwhelmed by an endless array of choices. The film unveils a bodily state where preparation transforms into an endless stretch of time. With a tragicomic touch, the film takes the viewer to the threshold of being and beyond, exploring the artist's freedom in contrast to the still-waiting crew. Who is truly free?
