Synopsis:

PETER (Kenneth Carmohn) is a theater director and playwright. His wife, Marie (Trine Appel), is an actress. They are both waiting on callbacks that never come, and the more time that passes without any promise of work, the more their professional frustration and disappointment manifest themselves in their personal lives. In a bid to save their marriage as well as their careers, they decide to stage a Strindberg play. Because, as Marie repeatedly points out to Peter, all the answers are to be found in Strindberg's life and work. But who else will want to take part in their desperate, last-minute production?

Peter, a theatre director, hates being out of work so much it's affecting his relationship with his girlfriend Marie, an actress. As a remedy, she suggests they stage a play by Strindberg together and bring in her famous friend Liza. Not such a good idea, it turns out. Soon, Liza is applying all her skills to steal the leading role and the director away from Maria, who is not backing down without a fight.

Danish director Linda Wendel has created an enjoyable, fairly involving film out of this plot, ultimately tying the play performed by the characters back into their lives, a somewhat predictable but well executed dramatization of life (as art would have it) imitating art. And, like her characters, she herself puts Strindberg's techniques into practice, using dialogue to carry the bulk of the drama and situating a majority of that drama in the same small apartment.
