Nina, Nina results in a small fictional portrait of Nina, a key figure in Anton Tchékhov’s play “The Seagull”, who tries to dialogue with our time. On the other hand, there is a fictional Nina of our time who tries to dialogue with Nina’s time in the work. Nina of our time has no time. Nina wants the time to accelerate. Both are disgusted by the time they inhabit.
The frustration of opposing wills, both from the characters and from the irony of the interpreters before their own condition, is seen in a time where they cohabitate too many times to understand each other. However, the theme of love is immune to disagreements. It is the timeless grain.
We will always be Ninas, one time or another. We will always be Ninas.
