GALATEA
A female, seemingly lifeless, body is found in the forest. Who was she, who left her there, and is she really dead? A film about a man who dumps his lifelike sex doll (Galatea) in the forest where someone finds it and thinks it is a dead body. Throughout the entire film we hear Galatea’s own thoughts about her purpose in society, as a martyr or saviour of women.

THE FILM MIGHT BE WHITE
A final feedback meeting is being held prior to the release of an art school’s new commercial. Everyone is happy, but then a thought arises as to whether the commercial can be perceived as “too white”. The meeting suddenly escalates into a debate about how it happened, if it can be solved and above all – whose fault it is.
