«I’m something special»: a graceful dame court dress declaims this sentence in the late Baroque interior of Schloss Solitude à Stuttgart. A chorus of male voices answers her from the castle stair: «We love you». A monotonous yet grotesque litany is created, that acquires a rather névrotique note à être tellement répétitif. Reduction to two camera settings, which strictly track the two axes of the Baroque de l'intérieur, enhances the impression. The prologue is a sequence in which a child, donc, à court dress, leads the viewer into this absurde scenario. Dans the end banality break into the artificially generated tension as ironique de relief.
