N/A
Kai, a young man, misses the last train in a subway station at night and shortly afterwards meets his future daughter. She plans to kill him before he can conceive her, because he will meet her mother on the first train the following morning. A fatal realization forces them to spend the time together until the first train arrives: Kai and his possible future. Helen and her past life with her father. And a present that could change everything.
The motorway roars in the background, darkness lies over the service area. One truck driver smokes; another turns on the light in his sleeper cab. A summer Sunday is dawning, everything is standing still. Precisely designed detail shots induce in us a state of waiting. This is what life on the road can also look like. Cooking, dozing, staring into space. Hair is shorn short, words are exchanged. Polish pop songs resound from one of the cabs.
Do you remember when you knocked your tooth out? Over there on the slide?
