Irina and Nikolai in lockdown for eternity

Irina and Nikolai live in a 2-person flat in the middle of the corona lockdown.
Irina wants to become an influencer and persuades Nikolai to film her everyday life in the apartment.
A chaotic, philosophical video diary is created.

Nikolai tries to make life as pleasant as possible for the melancholic Irina. Irina is obsessed with the idea that life has more to give than it currently offers her. At the beginning of the video diary she is still in an exhilarated mood of departure. Gradually, however, she grows tired of her everyday life in the shared apartment and glorifies work as the real meaning of life that makes her happy. But the longed-for satisfaction does not materialize even after home office work and make-up tutorials. Irina finds simple, uncreative activities draining and tiring.
What she doesn't register in the cycle of her fatal listlessness : Nikolai, her roommate and cameraman tries to confess his secret love to her while shooting a video...

The template for the text and the characters Irina and Nikolai come from Chekhov's mood drama "Three Sisters", published in 1904.
His text about the slow fading of dreams and the relentless passage of time, comes grotesquely close to the emotional world of two young people during the lockdown.
Irina's poetically exaggerated comments on life contrast with the absurdity and banality of modern everyday life, in which two roommates talk past each other despite their closeness and isolation from the outside world.
Chekhov's characters are tragicomic projection screens of his own melancholy social class, which he considers incapable of giving any impetus to social development.
