Synopsis

An endless void stretches out behind the windows of a large room. Only windows, no doors. It’s empty except for five people sitting at a table that seats six. Their withered bodies adorned in lush fabrics and jewellery, they spend eternity playing with the food. A charged silence fills the air. Any violation of the strict social rules is immediately suppressed by the others. When the fragile equilibrium in the group is finally broken by a boy’s constant pestering, things start spiralling out of control. His mother tries her best to protect them both from the consequences, but playing the double role comes at a high price.

Jasper Kuipers

Born in Eindhoven the Netherlands in 1985 as the child of two ceramists, Jasper Kuipers was brought up with an overabundance of materials to play with. From an early age he became fascinated by clay and drawing; fascinations that persist to the present day. After graduating from the animation department at the School of Fine Art and Design (AKV) St. Joost in Breda, Kuipers started his practice as a freelance director/animator. From his studio space in Breda he has worked on a diverse range of commissioned projects, spanning from educational films and music videos to installations and theatre video projections. Besides the commissioned work, he has continued to work on independent films in various traditional techniques.
