White holes
A table laden with food, before dinner, before an important dinner, a night to celebrate. Waiting for the son to arrive. The son who then arrives and shows up is not the son but some other guy. Just as the father (Vater) and the mother (Mum) change during the night, being not the parents anymore, just as the boy (Chico) isn’t the boy anymore. They try to gather memories, feelings, a common past, building and tearing down again a family unit which can’t exist but through relations that hurt each other. And at the end of the night, which still hasn’t turned into day, police finds the body of another boy in the back of a car. All that follows – an online sex chat and the dramatic meeting of two boys in the suburbs – is the reconstruction of a substitution, a stolen identity, a killing, a wound that won’t heal; a cut that never coalesces, blood spilling always at the same time, same night, everything repeats. A table laden with food, before an important dinner, where a son who isn’t really a son will arrive. And the only thing that remains is the mud invading the dining room and transforming it into something different, a place where you can eat no more.
