The Self-Murder (SSSR Productions)

by Carolin Kopplin on 15th Aug 2009 | View all blogs by Carolin Kopplin
The Russian company SSSR presents the story of two young people who meet in an internet chatroom and agree to commit suicide together. Yulia is lonely yet she cannot stand being with somebody else: "Any company is a burden to me." She does not want to be alone in her final moments. August, a lonely boy without friends, responds to her message and they meet in the wilderness to end their lives together.
This tragic story addresses the problem of suicide among young people without sentimentality. The characters are believable in their hopelessness and the acting is brilliant in this flawless production.
