Shadow Animals

The grown-ups get together for a dinner party, but for Marall it is filled with unexplained rituals and coldblooded behavior. In the suburban house, she watches them perform their animal-like middle-class dances, while at the same time keeping an eye on the mysterious shadow that has showed up uninvited. In a skillful stroke of kitchen sink surrealism, saturated with recognition, »Shadow Animals« manages to pinpoint the illogical adult world that makes childhood something deeply serious. A dance-based drama about the discovery of human behavior.
