A tragic-comic psychogram of social pandemic- and lockdown experiences connected to apocalyptic cinema. In a cellar labyrinth secluded from the outside world, grotesque creatures negotiate the pandemic state using quotes from post-apocalyptic movies. In dark, nightmare-ish images they describe fears of infection, social isolation, disease, lethargy and weariness. In fever dreams, associative infection and defense scenarios appear in DIY format. What seems to be a real encounter in the beginning reveals itself to be a virtual meeting in the end, in which the individually involved parties agree on a mantra of ostensible togetherness.
