Synopsis
The paths of displaced middle Europeans cross during the course of one night. They speak different languages, but are fatefully bound by their quest for happiness and deliverance. Sloping paths are all that remain for them in an age of lost perspectives, lost refuge and lost homelands. With each liberating movement, they sink deeper. Each gesture of love becomes a gesture of humiliation. In minute-long takes--the real time of events--an artificial existence is acted out before the ruthless eye of the camera, with the courage to observe.
