We crave justice – but when does our desire for fairness turn into a thirst for revenge? A young woman is waiting for her husband – a prominent lawyer – to return home from work. Skittish like an animal, strong-willed by nature, wounded in her past, she yearns for peace, yet cannot forget what has come to pass. Their marriage brought them together in the cruellest chapter of her life, and they both hope for light, tomorrow and a punishment for the brutal abuse to arrive. But their understanding of the sentence and its execution differs radically.

Death And The Maiden

Dailes Theater

When Frank finds out about his wife Alice’s desire for another man, his imagination drives him to obsession. Even if the sexual encounter was a fantasy, he is distraught and ventures out into the city, intent on engaging in infidelity of his own. A chance encounter sends him deeper into the night, where the line between dream and reality is blurred, and the distance between thought and action is much closer than he imagined. What started as a simple, ordinary conversation turns into a confession that threatens to tear two of the closest people apart…

Dream Story

After their father’s death, siblings are clearing out the family home. In the attic, they stumble upon a dusty painting – a cityscape of early 20th-century Vienna. The artist's signature is barely legible, but the technique makes it clear that the painter was an amateur, and the piece has little to no artistic value. However, upon closer inspection of the signature, a shocking fact emerges: it was painted by a notorious figure in their youth, someone without whom the previous century in world history would have been entirely different.
