Self-scape / Autopaysage is a post-dramatic film experiment, conceived as a journey to axiological and political self-awareness. Looking for the spots of particular statements about one’s position in the world, about friends, ownership and possession, about marriage, humor, hope and revolution, the author tries to respond to some questions that have never been posed to her. The boundaries between what is hers and what is considered general have been shifted. The question remains whether her personal view is authentically hers, or whether it is far more commonplace and generic than she would wish it to be.
