The shortfilm Palindrome explores the medium film by discovering the everyday activity of the breakfest. The Shots are running back and forth, leading to a somehow surreal composition. The film is questioning the reception of film stereotypes. What does happen, when a rather boring activity like a breakfest becomes visualized as pure aesthetics?
“A young woman enters the kitchen to eat breakfast. Strange things happen, but she pays no attention. Palindrome - a short film about the meal we pay least attention to.”
