Like Cain and Abel, Romulus and Remus or Eteocles and Polynices, this is the tale of two brothers who do not wish to love one another. The eldest brother, a notary, plays the role determined by society. The younger brother, an artist, plays the role proposed by society.
In order to explore the duality of the situation, the role of both characters is performed by the same actor. In the denouement, a murder will not take place. In its place, a suicide...

Deux frères se rencontrent. C'est la règle depuis Caïn et Abel, Romulus et Rémus, Etéocle et Polynice... Ils devisent et ne s'entendent pas. Les deux personnages sont interprétés par le même comédien non pour créer une ambiguïté mais pour explorer la dualité. Nous assistons dans ce vidéo à une fin de repas, comme une fin de bataille, où le meutre cette fois-ci ne sera pas commis; Caïn, abandonné, se suicidera.
