Social forces have an influence on all of us. Quasi abstract, dull and then entirely direct and brutal. They appear in different forms: regular routines, fixed relations, tacit conventions, insurmountable obstacle. The four films of this program are dedicated to protagonists, who shed led on the forces they are exposed to. They speak about them and make them in this way visible, audible and sensible. At the same time the roles of the filmmakers become a topic too. They act from different angles and also deal with the fundamental questions of how one can actually speak about these forces.
