Short synopsis:
A film around the subject of encounters in a semi closed public space, a swimming pool. Though series of encounters are suggested we never see one; the action has taken place off screen when we arrive at the place of suggested action. ‘Chairs Missing’ is a flow of repetitive patterns that boosts drama instead of bringing it. There is no additional music, no text, no dramatic story; just the building before its demolition.
