Synopsis

An improvised contemporary interpretation of Shakespeare's "Hamlet", focusing on Ophelia. Ophelia turns to Hamlet and talks to him, but in reality he is not present. There is a void between them. She talks to herself while evoking certain memories from her past and visiting places that played a role in that life. And Hamlet? He experiences his insanity in his derelict palace that has been turned into a modern block of flats. With him is Gertrude, the queen mother, who tries to maintain some kind of dignity for herself, but fate has changed her in a terrible way.
