Private Project

The Great Failure

A colourful Tragicomedy in the fast-paced world of an advertising film set. Through the confrontation with a difficult client, the director gets caught in an absurd competition of incompetence on the expense of their actress. A classic “lose-lose situation”.
As he accepts the greatness of his failure, he is left with his only way out: expressive dance!
