Human Pattern / Mänskligt Mönster

This is a film about how humans use various patterns when trying to communicate. In fear, or insecurity we tend to fall into patterns that we are most often not aware of, such as make faces, or say things, as if making a ritual of it makes things better.

In this film we try to picture what happens when two people meet (almost) without ever really meeting. This is a piece somewhere in between dance, short drama and performance.

As the drama is collapsing into repeated patterns, so is the music using repeated loops, but not in any ordinary fashion, instead of increasing and decreasing, it is more repeating and switching between various emotional states, thus framing the action in a context.
