Der Spiegel

With simple means, Keren Cytter stages a Shakespearean drama in a stripped contemporary Berlin apartment. Mortality and decay, in connection with love, are themes of all times. The motif is simple: a 42-year-old woman is confronted by her mirror image with the fact that she’s not sixteen anymore, she is being rejected by her crush and has no eyes for the man who loves her.
