I Want to Believe

For the first time at Von Krahl – the world-famous and unsettling TV series “I Want to Believe”. Triin Ruumet’s “I Want to Believe” portrays a reality dating show in all its passionate fireworks – lights, cameras, confession chairs. One date replaces another, and each successive young man outdoes the previous one. But when the fireworks of the television world no longer provide nourishment, the life lived on the show begins to take on dimensions no one could have expected. The participants face a choice: continue performing reality for the viewers’ pleasure or find the courage to look themselves in the eye.
