Four young people have to produce a podcast as part of a competition for new talent. One of them recounts an incident that actually happened to him, but refuses to alter the story to make it more compelling. Where does the line lie when it comes to manipulating the truth? The conflict intensifies when their personal story is drawn into parallel with that of Othello. Does telling a story also mean betraying it? Can what we do not consider a violent act be seen as violent by others? Where is Othello hiding today?
