5 PICTURES OF A FATHER

On a frozen field, a child tells about a felt-tip man with a beard and a bit of hair on his head. A musician lives a life without music. A prison officer collects model trains and longs for the open oceans. A Soviet cosmonaut sits in his space capsule in eternal orbit. And a guardian angel dances in the sky. In a sequence of tales, five girls and women present their pictures of a father. The notions of absence and presence, longing and dreams tie together the five stories, which emerge through staged tableaux, drawings, graphics and archive material.
