Discussion with the director

Night-time in no-man’s land, at a bus-stop somewhere: Marion, a young Slav prostitute and Adama from Africa. They are waiting for the last bus. But it is not going to arrive – the woman driver has been dead for some time now. The two women are at one another’s mercy and victims of their fears. The sense of danger is overwhelming. Is Adama the murderer?
