Homo Multiplicity with 6 sequential portraits... ONLY HUMAN

Characters' statement by Igor Ivanov describing each of the characters in the 6 episodes

 

HOMO FABER

Viktor is absent of any form of social engagement. Although entitled Homo Faber (working man), his nature is the opposite. He neither has the wish, nor the idea or need for a change, to make any step further to a higher degree of existence. But the fate leads him directly to the goal and turns him into a millionaire. Cheerful and lucid by nature, confused, but sympathetic, Viktor succeeds without wanting success.

 

HOMO ADORANS

Young widow Petra (40) seemingly has everything one could want in life. Money, a big house, a helping maid... Left alone, closed in her introvert world, she realizes she wants something more from life. She sees going to a monastery as a way out of the meaningless existence. The local priest promises to help her, but shortly Petra realizes that she's a victim of a conspiracy in which even her maid is involved. She construes a plan to make the conspirators fools and to accomplish her goal.

 

HOMO LUDENS

She is a vice incarnated in human form. Destruction is her basic life intention, to destroy herself and to destroy her closest ones. Entitled like Homo Ludens (Playing Man), Zana’s character tends to deconstruct and show the mechanisms through which the gambling "vice" rules a person.

 

HOMO RIDENS

What's funny? What makes us laugh? The true laughter, the best humor is most often "hard to tell". One comes indirectly to it, it is told secretly, it is whispered. Because the highest form of humor, the one that demystifies, degrades and ridicules authorities is a life danger. Sokrates exists to make us laugh, that's his greatest reward. In this hazardous game, he ends up badly and in order to be the hero of the moment, Sokrates sacrifices his own freedom.

 

HOMO ECONOMICUS

Keti is a street prostitute. She rules the street, she fights tirelessly, she sacrifices. There is no retreat, as the principles of capitalism demand in the society where it is hard to find a customer, and even harder to get his money. Her conflict is resolved with a an inexplicable gift from god, an guardian angel following her to save her in a moment of crisis, to give her strength to go on with her Sisyphus-like life struggle.

 

HOMO AMANS

Gogi is an expression of pure love. Without calculated actions, without preconditions, without wanting anything in return. This young man with Down's doesn't know anything else. He simply loves, without abilities and psychological mechanism to build a conflict with nature, society, with you or me...
