Promenade

© Maitei Bartha

Everyday scenes fly by through the windows of a bus. A man who looks like he has just come out of prison and a woman from a psychiatric asylum meet, talk, leave and seem to run away. The screenplay of their lives unfolds in an urban landscape that becomes the backdrop of this story. But confusion settles in. Are we prisoners in this bus, spectators, or the show itself? Where does reality begin? Where does fiction end? It is a long journey and we drive on unrelentingly despite the hustle and bustle of the characters in the city. This road-movie is the perfect metaphor for the journey of life. We are all anonymous passengers, whether inside or outside. After this unescapable exodus to the future, we reach the final stop and everyone gets off, ending an epic modern- day story.
