synopsis
While preparing for the part of a thief, a young actress begins stealing
in real life. Having exceeded her character's traits, she is frustrated
on the set and after the conflict with the director leaves the shoot. A
theatre actor is offered to play a bum in a movie. During his research
for the part, he wanders around shelters trying to make friends with the
homeless. Freedom of a lifestyle without duties overwhelms him. An actor
and an actress are playing a passionate couple in a TV soap. After the
production is over, he pursues her, claiming to be in love. The actress
insists what they did in front of the camera has nothing to do with
their private lives, but the actor obsessively persists.
director's note
This triptych is conceived in a way that stories feed off of each other,
the impact of one main character complimenting the other two. Character
studies explore social issues of a particular environment, while
preserving the main idea - in each story, an actor pursues the quest
their emotions demand. A complete identification of an actor with their
character can be quite ambivalent - could the transformation of a
performance into real life become an ultimate form of acting?
