Marbles

A woman often manipulates a man, without him knowing. Petty blackmail, tears and sex as a bribe – these and others aspects might contribute to manipulation, which is (not the only) theme of a new film by Olga Dabrowská, composed of several stories which all intertwine at a technoparty, but also at a vicarage. They culminate in a self-content home routine of two old people. The routine cannot be disturbed by anything – not even death. Together, the stories of women of various ages and life styles create a story of a whole life, that has thanks to manipulation been lived as planned by also equally wasted.
