I Want to Believe

At Von Krahl for the first time – the world-famous and unsettling television series “I Want to Believe”. Triin Ruumet’s “I Want to Believe” depicts a reality dating show in all its passionate fireworks – lights, cameras, confessionals. One date replaces another, and each subsequent 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 the staged reality for the viewers’ delight or find the courage to look themselves in the eye.
