Two men meet on the stage of a theater. One is the operator of the experiment, the other one is offered to become a guinea pig for a fee. Everything seems almost funny, until at some point things are “crooked” ….

It is also noted that the leading role of Panos Zournatzidis in Lebensraum, was decisive in the abolition of a law in 2016 which said that people with disabilities were not allowed to study at the Higher Drama Schools and were even excluded from the entrance examinations.
