Mimodramme was based on a novel "Hunger" by a Nor­we­gian writer Knut Hamsun, who lived on the turn of the 19th century. It tells a story of a young writer who finds himself to live and create in an insensate and unscrupulous world. The artist is faced with a centuries old dilemma: either to live comfortably in a uniform society or reject this for the price of laying his life as a sacrifice. He falls in love head over heels with a woman but is unable to meet the requirements forced upon him by urban morality ethos functioning in the reality of the protestant Norway. The main character is possessed both by a creative hunger to fulfill himself as well as a physical hunger.
   Every extreme situation a man can find himself in will sharpen his perception of reality. It is a moment when all natural reflexes are likely to be stripped of all conventionality and all films. I am both fascinated and terrified that someone 'starved' is open and ready to absorb in himself literally everything, thus muffling the real hunger for ...quality. Who knows, maybe the need of contact with another human being is the strongest of all hungers?

"He will take my hand and lead me through the terraces full of cheering people, through lovely gardens where three hundred beautiful girls will play and laugh. And he will lead me into another chamber where everything will be made of glittering emerald. The sun fills the terraces resounding with a choral song. The wave of incense reaches me. In his hand he holds her hand. I feel the delight of alchemy in my blood... He whispers to me, 'Not, here. Let's go further on.' We reach he red chamber where everything is ruby and intoxicating, there I drown. [...] From my seat I can see the stars shine in front of my eyes and my thoughts stream somewhere in the hurricane of light."
