CASTING
"I'm looking for someone who wants to make a film about them" - was the announcement that the director published while searching for a new hero of a documentary film. At the same time, he wanted to find out who the people are who want to make a film about them? What purpose can it serve them? The film is a recording of the casting process that the director conducted with the candidates. It quickly turned out that the casting itself was just a pretext for them to get something much deeper.
