Ana leaves Boris, temporarily at first. Gradually, Boris frees himself from his stasis, learning to dance with loneliness as well as to escape from it. He buys an old, sky-blue car and undertakes long journeys. He meets people, different women, on the bus, at a café, at a party. In the end his car is stolen, he encounters Ana, the old record begins to play...

In the context of a society in deep distress, like a taciturn Woody Allen a man attempts to liberate himself in movement, in the game, in waiting. The end is the beginning. Competition entry at 2011 Berlinale.

  • “A fable that, in a comedic tone, tells of all the bigger and smaller aspects of those moments in life in which nothing seems to be happening.” Alan Pauls
