Dreams

by Michalina Musialik

The story begins with a lazy morning of an old lady who lives alone with a few pets. While preparing for a walk with her dogs, the grandma falls on the floor and never gets up. The pets stay at home, helpless and alone. Their attempts to find some food in empty bowls and the waste end in failure. Meanwhile, the flat becomes infested by a swarm of flies and filled with odour of the decomposing corpse. Slowly, as time passes, the closed, claustrophobic space transforms into a battlefield. For one of the dogs the corpse of the owner becomes a source of food and a chance for survival. For the second one the corpse remains a sanctity, a relic of its formerly loving owner.

An alarm clock wakes a man who washes his face, has breakfast, drives his car to work, spins records, returns home, and takes his pills. It’s a world of circles – often seen from above: an espresso cup, a stairwell, the pills, and the records spinning. At the dance where the music plays, the rhythms evoke images of a butcher slicing head cheese, gears driving other wheels and levers, a combine churning out bales of hay, a butcher cutting chunks of meat for a stew, and boxers punching. The circle of music and life
