"A Shot In The Dark tells about the attempt of an approach and the impossibility to meet. In the tension-filled area of curiosity and distrust, attraction and disgust, desire and fear, the protagonists are again and again thrown back on their own and gesticulate in a kind of vacuum. In an air bubble, they court for the favour of their own reflection. The result is a power game in which one endlessly reflects but does not show."
