Ruheraum Nord/Süd

Sauna-Ruheraum auf dem Dach eines aufgeblasenen italienischen Wellness-Hotels in der Umgebung von Bozen. Gedämmte Atmosphäre, Holz, weiches Licht, süßliche Klavierschmusemusik, Meeresgeräusche, Vogelzwitschern, hin und wieder knirscht eine Schiebetür und Duschen auf dem Gang rauschen. Auf Relax-Liegen liegen und sitzen er, sie und ein unbeteiligter Zuhörer. Geflüsterte Konversation zwischen ihm (italienischer Akzent) und ihr (deutscher Akzent). Elektrizität liegt in der Luft.
