Plots(1)

The film captures a dying man who utters his last monologue, playful and intimate in Dadaistic style. The camera zooms in on his face and experimentation with editing and digital manipulation change the meaning of his words. The author of the text is Sam Shepard, with Joseph Chaikin being the performer. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
