CGiii Comment

Seemingly this is a homage to Cassavetes...which basically means, an uneventful long-drawn-out study in misery.

Yip, that's exactly what this overly-long short film is!

The(ir) Blurb...

'I used to think that life is change, but it isn't'. At a casting, actress Gloria must perform a text, that could be her own. Her life has become stagnant for too long, already. Each day Gloria is roaming the subway stations of Berlin, searching for her drug, without which she cannot live any more than with it. There she runs into Jamil, a young drug dealer, whose interest in her quickly transcends business.
