Atkūrimas

Dummy
A crime scene inspection in the woods: the perpetrator re-enacts the crime in minute detail using a faceless doll. This cool re-staging of raw brutality is almost unbearable. The solidarity that ensues does not follow the principles of morality or decency, but has its own dynamic in this subtle and precisely unfolding game of power.
