Description: A dark room with the stairs in the middle and a screen on the left. On the screen a profile of a face of a woman, reading text in Icelandic. We have a close-up on the screen and woman articulating neatly. Later people are appearing and starting to make some actions on the stage, nagging a transparent sheet, going up the big ladder, etc. Man’s profile is shown on the screen. Then close-up to woman’s profile again. The reading is going on after with people coming on stage and making action close to the ladder, in the dark. The actors on stage are going up the ladder to the very top at some point. Then the smoke comes. Blue light is filling the stage. The reading is going on. People are going up and down the ladder.
