In the video "Extra Story", a film extra has the single leading role. The video is based on a text by a male extra in Los Angeles in which he unsentimentally describes the conditions of his profession interspersed with his personal dreams and thoughts about his life as an extra. The texts are alternated with short scenes where a man inside an empty restaurant carries out the small well-practiced gestures of an actor with great seriousness. The mirror reflections in the image create the illusion that the man is doubled; he visually and metaphorically goes in and out of himself. He disappears from the picture only to crop up again somewhere else.
