a bodyguard universe

The voice of Salman Rushdie.The text of Donald Barthelme. The questions and hypothesis and exploration of near world and signs and vulnerabilities. A support for reflection about the fragility of dictatorship, importance of small gestures, decisions, allusions. And options. Nothing new. But usefull. For the inspired atmosphere and for performance of zoung lead actors and for the presence of Rushdie and the thoughts about the story of him. A great short movie.
