Mary, the philanthropist, spends so much time trying to help others that she fails to give love to the one closest to her. The wealthy couple, Rose and Ramon, are unable to reconcile their differences and lose the one thing that money cannot buy. The jealous Elizabeth tries to inculcate her daughter with the bitterness of her own failed marriage, and the disenchanted Charles, whose alienation in the machinery of modern life has nullified his capacity to feel, hangs on to the last threads of his marriage.The pursuit of wealth and status, the inability to see beyond the surface, the preoccupation with the material and the loss of the ability to perceive what life's priorities should be - these are the issues the characters of each story come face to face with; questions are raised, complicating ideas of self and society, fogging up perception of others, relationships, challenging sense of purpose. A sign of modern times, or are these ageless contentions of mankind?As the parabolic vignettes unfurl through a skilful puppetry of faceless characters who stage uncannily familiar scenarios, Kattan forces us to turn the multi-faceted mirror upon ourselves - to ask ourselves why we do what we do, how our actions affect others, why we think in certain ways, what our subconscious motives are in the endless search for love.
