   The focus is on authenticity, timing and reaction.

Role of a man (for context only, this role has already been cast)

Situation: You are in the kitchen, slightly out of breath from jogging. You reach for the glass, want to pour water, pause briefly and remember something when you see the tap. (This reaction is important) 

You turn a little and call into the other room.

Text:
"Could you give the meter reading to Hamburg Wasser?"

After that, please play a silent reaction, as if you were waiting for an answer and then react surprised/puzzled when you hear that it's already done.

Woman role

Situation: You are in the next room and hear the call and say "Klaro" out loud.

You quickly get up from the sofa, pretend to leave the room briefly and then sit down again in a relaxed manner. You pick up your cell phone, type something and shout "Done!"

After that, please play a calm, satisfied reaction as if you were showing someone your cell phone.

Thank you and we look forward to your submissions! :)
