THREE STORIES

Every one of the three novellas bears a title based on a literary source. “Heating Basement No. 6” is about the power of the spoken word. A stokercum-poet advises an acquaintance to murder the evil woman who lives next door to him. No sooner said than done, as it turns out, and we see the corpse being transported for cremation. The behaviour of the nurse in “Ophelia” is likewise based on literary sources. At some point, the woman was disowned by her mother, and now she is attempting to break the course of events pre-programmed by civilisation. “Death and the Maiden” deals with another fatality, again caused by a neighbour. A film of grand truths “in the manner of Dostoevsky”, it is about a specific cultural and moral tradition.
