A train crashing into a suicide is unstoppable just like this world. Fractions of a second decide what the driver will dream about and how it will affect their psyche. The film is about coping with a tragic event through a mass portrait of men from the train cab and about the helplessness they experience when they apply the brakes and close their eyes at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.

Standing in the water in fishing gear, catching fish and taking in the rugged winter landscape. What at first sounds like a dream for outdoor fans is part of the working routine of prison inmates in the East Slovakian town of Perín-Chym. Their job is to breed carp, which are primarily consumed at Christmas dinners. Marek Moučka anonymizes the prisoners by erasing their eyes in his artful black and white film. He talks to them about freedom and missed holidays.
