A trilogy of films made for insertion between advertisements and programs on Swedish, Finnish and Russian commercial TV channels. Part short drama, part mini-commercial, these films reach way beyond both categories to become pieces of intense poetic and imaginative force. Each individual film considers human reality through the themes of prejudice and identity, conveyed in a series of contracted moments where a second becomes a minute, heeding Alexander Kluge's warning about the bankruptcy of the feature film and the significance of brief gestures in a world where mass media has already imposed its rules of concision and constriction.
