FatoniHow do you start a revolution, and, actually, where do you buy a door? Leon and Annika aren’t sure which delivery service they should decide on, but they are absolutely sure about the world’s injustices. Tableau-like dialogue between kitchen and bedroom, pasta and politics.
Annika works on her podcast, which is critical of the political system, while Leon polishes his fingernails. She wants to change the world, he is fed up with the daily news. Annika is serious. Her ideas about a political uprising are just as ubiquitous as his desire to change his haircut. The word and the deed. Narcissistic generation “Why?” Or generation “Fridays for Future?” The camera observes the two students like a sober, (semi-)close observer. The times of day blend into each other. Revolution tutorials are followed by video messages, phone calls, and Facebook events.
