The concept of the movie is a casting callback day with seven people auditioning for a part. In a room with three camcorders, a panel of three judges guide the audition with 13 unconventional questions for the participants to interpret. The rest of the movie shows the preparation of the actors for the callback session and their reactions after the fact. The actors choose the setting of their rehearsals, from street locations, cabs, subway stations and cafes, depending on their interpretation of the questions being asked. During the rehearsals and the callback day, the narrative was created as an improvised fiction with simultaneous voiceovers and the corresponding use of axis shift around the locations.
''We have to ask ourselves, quite fundamentally, whats all the trouble? In other words, what is your state of mind when you contemplate the possibility of everything becoming nothing? Alright, so the universe is a transitory system, like bubbles, like smoke, like foam on the water, so what? And so how easy, just go along with it, dissolve. So whats the problem? Why don't we want to give up? What do we think were going to get by holding on and by resisting the dissolution.
What I'm interested in for you to feel, is what do your really feel like inside at the prospect of everything becoming nothing, of this whole thing being a bubble that dissolves. You see about death, the reality of approaching death, people are apt to feel chilly, cold, lonely, scared because its unknown, that the most frightening thing about death is that there might be something beyond it. There are all sorts of things that scare you, but beyond every monster is death. Dissolution is the end of it all.'' Alan Watts
