Still life (2013)

A man with too much money, stuck in a misplaced café, tells emaciated and offensive jokes incessantly.

A woman with suppressed energy, flattened by the tedium of present existence and unwanted past, provided with a forced smile.

A man deeply touched by life, wiry and seemingly incisive, essentially uncertain, melancholy and suffering under and from existence.

A woman repeating herself until the words have no sound, longing for the ultimate sexual experience ending with death.

A man with many abilities put into wrong things so that he is eternally stuck with his life chosen out of revenge.

A caveman trying to survive without perspective.

Together in a large, otherwise empty, café at a table with a screen in the background filled with scantily clad ladies and non-sounding sounds. A depressing void filled with some struggling individuals, together to indulge in mutual understanding without being spoken.
