Reality obeys strange rules—events repeat themselves, and people seem to be acting out a script. Anna moves between “levels,” interacts with characters, and uncovers new fragments of the story, but the further she goes, the more the system malfunctions. And it becomes unclear: is this life or a game, and is it even possible to win here?

“Goizum” based on Heinrich von Kleist’s play “The Broken Jug”

duration: 1 hour 10 minutes

During a night storm in a village, a jug is broken — a seemingly mundane event, but it ends up in court. The judge, witnesses, and victims are all gathered to determine who is at fault. But the longer the hearing goes on, the more confusing the story becomes, and the truth itself becomes less and less convenient for those present. At the center is an absurd investigation that gradually reveals not only the mystery of one jug, but also deeper cracks in people, in the system, and in the concept of justice.
