And suddenly there's a bag of money, a dead person, then the money is gone again and the melancholy man from the tax office has a bag of problems instead.

killer.berlin.doc (1999)
killer.berlin.doc combines a documentary realism focussing on Berlin with a fictional narrative about ten people playing a game of 'killer'. In the game, no-one knows the others' identify and each is both perpetrator and victim. This cyclical element and the seemingly random exploration of different characters is reminiscent of the non-linear pathways of interactives.
