Dir. Sebastian Brameshuber - 2019 - Austria/France - Languages: Igbo, German, English - Subtitles: English
In a remote, abandoned industrial site near a centuries-old ore mine in the Austrian Alps, a self-taught mechanic runs a business exporting used cars to his native Nigeria. As he pursues his lonely day-to-day activities with wondrous serenity, past, present and future begin to overlap, and memories of a lost friendship resurface against the backdrop of a mysterious promise of everlasting resources.
"A documentary which is ascetic without being dry, simple yet profound and which knows how to impose its own rhythm on proceedings" Cineuropa http://ow.ly/y3xb50BvXDS
