Lumen, der Minister - Echolot
Music video | 5 mins
Paola works as a waitress at Café Desi. She is in her twenties and in a difficult stage of her life. Her work is stressful, her spare time lonely and above all she has to run the place alone on a crowded Valentine's Day. Overwhelmed she runs around between orders, the counter and cashing up. When the last customers finally leave the café, Paola - visibly relieved - starts to clean up the café. Suddenly, a twitch runs through her body. The twitches turn into movements and Paola turns the empty café into her stage.
