Imitation
Only some hours left until the premiere. A dimly lit stage. Two actors rehearse a romantic scene. Why does something that should feel so right, feel so wrong? They love each other, after all.
The line between fiction and reality gets unclear as they are forced to confront what is unspoken. They glance at each other before the curtain lifts, and applause fills the room.
