This film is currently not available.   

Everyone who has ever driven in Czechia has been there. Our oldest and longest highway is not just a road but a slice of life where the spiritual dimension of stories offers deep existential reflections.

The mycelia of Physarum polycephalum can find the most efficient routes between obstacles and form networks nearly identical to highways connecting large cities. Can we find a logical parallel on the route between Prague and Brno? A manager at McDonald’s, locals under the “suicide bridge,” and random drivers muse at the rest stops and highway exits on life, time, death and the universe itself. Nonstop, a metaphorical web of ideas, mutual interactions, and asynchronous digressions to endless contemplation presents a legendary probe into Czech society in the 1990s.
