At high speed, and with trailer-like compactness, a phantasmagoric image is sketched of the visualization of another, exclusively telepathically perceptible world. The princess of Denmark gives her account of how she falls under the spell of an expatriate tribe of Mongolese Jews who settle in the land of her birth. The members of the tribe have a dangerous power. They can speak without moving their mouths. They speak with their spirits and, as far as power goes, these can be compared with the telekinetic gifts of Carrie in the film of the same name by Brian de Palma. They can bridge great distances with their powers, but with them, they spread a plague throughout Denmark which ultimately leads to the extinction of half the population, including the princess' family. The princess survives this mental plague, subsequently to study under the tribe and, in the course of time, she develops the same powers. She speaks with her spirit, and with it she then travels on the bloodstream in the air to the place of her death. This mental journey brings the princess, now elected queen of the tribe, to the castle where she hopes to find the room of her original. She is completely absorbed in the telepathic reality and almost happily, she tells that her fellow tribe members show her everything. This production is part of a film cycle in 20 parts, collected under the title: Danish girls show EVERYthing, a project developed by Holland House in Copenhagen. Blair's contribution is full of computer tricks and fine 3D animation. They provide a synthetic quality to the suggestion of telepathy in a world which, at a physical level, is fundamentally different from the world we know. An interactive version is being developed parallel with the film version. This trailer is meta dramaturgy in embryo.
