Logline

Lower Upper Cut

Fear of failure abounds. Everyone wants to get to the top as soon and as fast as possible. But the artistic director's performance that is to be given by the acting department is at risk of turning into a disaster. The final-year class attempts a revolution to save itself, but becomes a plaything in a riot of rumours, machinations, panic attacks and vanities. An improvised, psychotic comedy about a generation of young actors in a battle against the curators of art.
