The Quiet Game Starts Now

Vidéo | hdv | couleur | 5:47 | Suède | 2012

The animated video The Quiet Game Starts Now (Tysta leken börjar nu) is a satire about the current escalation of self-absorption. Two women meet in a conversation, which from the start is a one-way communication, with one dominating party. After a while there is a shift in power and the silence grows stronger and starts to speak.
