Romantic Gesture (2018)

A young actor, alone in a confined space, expresses his rage. He just took part in the making of a movie, the cinematographic adaptation of a 19th century romantic novel. His monologue shifts from a rational argument to an emotional appropriation. He gets mad and deeply criticizes the final result, exposing the failure of the film to convey the complexity of the original literary work. Der Hagestolz (The man with no posterity, 1844) is a coming-of-age story from the romantic Austrian writer Adalbert Stifter.
