Scenografi, shot in Berlin, partly on 16mm, follows the construction of a set design in wood, inspired by the typical kind of rudimentary cartoons you find in the margin of newspapers or cross word magazines. Along with the construction and deconstruction, the Scenography of wood becomes an arena for performances, dinners, friendly meetings, arguments, tears, nudity and general decadence, including interference from invited and uninvited guests such as: Tobias Bernstrup, Saralunden, SNOWP, Körner Union, Michael Portnoy and the Sect of Wood.
