APOCALYPSE ON WHEELS

Director’s statement: “This is not a film about roads or cars, but about what traffic turns us into. I chose five people whom I accompanied all over town, in their everyday lives. For five months I sat in the passenger seat of their car, listening to them. They are all ordinary people: a delivery boy who spends about 14 hours a day driving around Bucharest; a half paralyzed man who not only drives a car, but also helps other people to avail themselves of cars; a Peruvian-born woman who was raised in a city with equally crazed traffic; a father who recently lost his daughter in a traffic accident; and a policeman who, before December’89, was beaten up by the militia.”
