Overview

Spring 2020. The coronavirus pandemic has broken out. Theaters have stopped working. Rehearsals of plays have been suspended. Silence, emptiness, ominous silence. Nevertheless, director Ana receives an offer to dramatize and direct “The Goalkeeper's Fear of Penalties”, a masterpiece by Peter Handke. It is a great challenge and a chance to jumpstart her stalled career. The problem is that the creative process emotionally inhibits her and blocks her sexuality, but with the persuasion of her best friend Sanja – Ana nevertheless embarks on the creative process. The director is faced with typical theatrical folklore.
