Synopsis
You pass through the air that compresses you - you see passing white and yellow hatches - and green prairies - red signals - vehicles with half glasses against the sun that hits your eyes - circle and the center a type of tool that gives you the possibility of making noise. And you see behind everything that follows you. Then you stop and see the sea and the flag: ours. A bicycle hanging like a hanged man above the water (it is touched arrhythmically by light waves). Characters: the usual ones but actually framed inside that 120 by 16mm lens. It ends with the return home.
