The sound work revolves around Ernst Lubitsch`s legendary laughing scene from Ninotchka (MGM, 1939). With a cello improvisation we aimed to trace the prosodic molody and speech tempi of main character Leon and his dramatic efforts in delivering a joke to Ninotchka. Grimly determined, he soon loses the thread and gets completely out of time.

The original soundtrack, which we slowed down to a third of it`s original pace, and the cello outdo one another to fabricate the loosing of a thread, entangled in slowed splitting laughter from the film scene.
