Splendour

“Tell her outside of history she is nothing… A parasite… I am history… I know what I leave
behind.”

Inside an opulent drawing room of a Presidential Palace, four women are waiting on a
dictator. Kathryn, a photojournalist here to take his portrait, Micheleine, the dictator’s wife,
her best friend Genevieve, and Gilma, a kleptomaniac interpreter.
As the minutes tick by and a revolution seizes the city outside, the women must turn to each
other whilst everything else falls apart.
