Synopsis

Impressions like flashbacks to the romantic imagination of city dwellers that their recreation areas would offer them untouched nature. Dream-like fragments, lined up with reality - a landscape which is used to supply the city. Cars flash across the road, passing oil pumps and wind turbines, periphery and suburbs move by in accelerated speed. Through streets, along facades right into the maze of the city. The view to the horizon changes continuously in a sublime accumulation of things that are seemingly supplied in abundance. Ever changing fragments of a city, that has been growing over the centuries, dance along the streets in their varied stylistic interpretations.
