Definitely a Dress Rehearsal
By Svava Jakobsdóttir
This is the story of a most ordinary bourgeois couple. Both are 35-year-old, have no children, and the husband has a psychotic urge to build an ideally protected shelter. When construction ends, he wants to test it in adequate conditions, and the couple tell everybody that they are leaving for Cyprus. Instead, they lock themselves up in the shelter, and there, in a closed space, they raise the big questions and discuss the problems in their lives.
Premiere: in Beit Bikurei Ha-Itim in 2000
