FANTASTIC SHORTS COMPETITION – CHAPTER I
Wenn unsere Welt zusammenbricht, müssen wir alle damit kämpfen, uns an die neue Realität zu gewöhnen. Manche flüchten sich in fantastische Traumwelten, um die Monotonie ihrer furchtbaren Routine zu bewältigen. Andere schließen sich mit befreundeten Überlebenskünstler*innen zusammen, in der Hoffnung, dieses nie Dagewesene zu verstehen – obwohl sie es eigentlich besser wissen müssten. Wir suchen nach Nähe und Innigkeit im Angesicht von Verlust oder sogar nach dem Tod, was das Liebesleben deutlich komplizierter macht. Ohne die Tatsachen der Gegebenheiten akzeptieren zu wollen, hinterfragen wir unser eigenes Ich und könnten sogar die Freiheit erlangen, die Wahrheit über uns selbst zu akzeptieren. Die Zukunft war noch nie so ungewiss, aber SLASH wird euch helfen, euer bestes Leben (nach dem Tod) zu zelebrieren – versprochen!
