Meeting of Humans

A flute playing A couple enters a floor with large round spots of light similar to the large round skylights available at Filmhuset in Stockholm Sweden She has a short golden dress He has a long black cape Both are wearing masks More instruments make up the music and now a blazing flame dances instead and we see the womans face in extreme closeup The man caressing her gently A match burns and fades out More closeups of the young woman Two matches meet and flares up Later we see the man and the woman again it is outdoors the citys water They look tired and bored as if the low born during the dance now have relentlessly extinguished Premiered as a short prelude to Ingmar Bergmans Persona
