The Director
Regissøren
A newly graduated female director wants to put on an Afro-futuristic performance with her theater group at the National Theater. She is invited to pitch her project to the theater director, but the meeting does not go according to plan. She quickly understands that the artistic director is more interested in what she represents than what she has to say.
