Repete

Michaela Pavlátová
Czech Republic 1995 / 9’

Three couples are following the routines of everyday life but they long to break free from the pattern. We are all part of a mechanism that determines the lines of our ways. Everyday routine bores us but, at the same time, we feel safe in it. We are constantly looking for change, but are not brave enough to take that first step. When a change finally comes, we immediately make it fit into our routine, so the machine just keeps on going.
