In the work produced for ZKMax, two groups meet in an abstract space and engage in a verbal dispute that eventually escalates into a physical confrontation. In the forced dialogue with the other group, internal structures, dominance, consideration, protection, betrayal, etc. become visible. The group play initiated by the director develops its own dynamics and demonstrates cause and effect of human behavior.

Concentrating on the depicted dispute, the images are essentially black and white. Few color sequences break the formal strictness of the theatrical experimental arrangement. On a separate monitor, the actors succinctly give their impressions of the tension during the filming.
