Please Do Not Disturb Him
请勿打扰他
A 15-minute silent comedy about love, law, and losing it (quietly). 一部关于爱情、法律与悄无声息崩溃的15分钟默片喜剧。
ABOUT the STORY
A Chinese actress and her American law professor husband perform a marriage of manners, manipulation, and mutual misinterpretation.
Mary thought she was marrying into stability. Robert thought he was marrying obedience.
Neither was prepared for what would happen once the door closed and the curtains didn’t.
In a quiet New York apartment, a marriage unravels through glances, gestures,
and just the right amount of subtitles.
Part love story, part psychological chess game, this silent black comedy plays with
power, performance, and the tremendous immigrant dream
—until one partner stops pretending.
一位中国女演员与她的美国法学教授丈夫，在礼貌、控制与误解中，上演了一出“文明婚姻”的荒谬默剧。
Mary 以为她嫁进了稳定，Robert 以为他娶到了服从。
可门一关上，帘子没拉上，一切就不在控制之中。
在纽约的一间安静公寓里，一段婚姻在眼神、动作与恰到好处的字幕中缓缓崩解。
这是一场关于权力、表演和移民梦的黑色默片：一半爱情故事，一半心理战。
直到有一方停止了“表演”。
