Synopsis

Walking along the sidewalk to one of Ostrava's railway stations can be a real trip for some. Locals and visitors alike highlight and curse its supposed hallucinogenic effects. "An interesting combination of a street probe, abstract associations, constructivist film with the montage equivalent of choreography. An original use of various cinematic means of expression in order to evoke strong sensory experiences in the viewer. It's proof that you can make a film about anything if you know why."
