Roughly based on The Trial by Franz Kafka, this black comedy changes the lead character to a modern business woman who finds herself accused of an unknown crime. The more she delves into the bureaucratic nightmare the more her ordered, little world unravels and the more she is entangled in the increasingly obscure process.
Cast of 3 women and 4 men.
"The futility of the individual before a dehumanizing bureaucracy has never been so funny."
