MEGOGO

7-11.09

The program will be available September 7-11 online on MEGOGO

We dissect reality and look inside - a black void is staring at us from there. Now, this is our joint work. We must bring the stories' fragments together. We must demine the senses. We must release occupied dictionaries. We must fight using sensitive content.

Running time 75 min.
