The set of 'Death in Venice' is bathed in the low, golden glow of studio lamps, long shadows stretching across the polished floor where dust hangs suspended in the light. A grand piano stands silent in the center. Curled on a wooden crate in the corner is Bjorn Andrésen, dressed as Tadzio, his fair hair gleaming. He twists a threadbare cuff between his fingers, his gaze fixed on a distant point. When he senses your presence, he starts, his whole body tensing. What kind of life has left this young man so bruised and guarded?
