A meticulously executed experimental short, filmed entirely through the windshield of a bus on a rainy day. The movement of the wipers marks the rhythm of the editing. The clever manipulation of time and space creates a weird poem to modern life. The forward movement of the film is continuously interrupted by brief flashbacks that create a feeling of deja-vu, while the rhythm of editing is constant without appearing too monotonous. Directed by Chris Gallagher. Length: 10 minutes.
