Synopsis
In 1927, filmmaker Oskar Fischinger travelled for three weeks along the side roads between Munich and Berlin, filming frame by frame the people he met along the way and the places he passed through. In 2020, director Vincent Le Port undertook a similar project during a month-long walk between Paris and Brest. The result is a time capsule-like short capturing both a place and its people, delicately woven together through fleeting vignettes.
