About Cinema
Director of Photography
Five kinonovell, closely related to each other and as a designer gathering in one movie "about the movie." All the action takes place in cars, where the main characters unwittingly become hostages of sometimes absurd circumstances, as if they themselves are the heroes of the film. And, despite the large number of words spoken, the main characters will have to bear responsibility for each of them.
