What happens in a person permanently trapped in the destructive loneliness of constant self-comparison? How does a person who fools others with neoliberal dreams just so they do not have to give up their own feel? This bittersweet, cheerfully tense musical by Niki Lindroth von Bahr pulls us into the masked nervousness of modern society with humour, singing and dancing.

Empty and dense. Organic and geometrical. Mirrored and asymmetrical. These are only some of the parameters playfully transformed into an abstract cinematic study by Réka Bucsi: a doubting line from which a second and a third consisting of sculptures looped around themselves soon spring. Bucsi continues her exploration: Which movements are reminiscent of legs, which of wings? Or is all this just a figment of our imagination?

A meteorite covered in green growth lands on a planet inhabited by strange creatures and sparks light, colour, fertility, and intimacy. Plants begin to glow, animals find mates or become one in different ways. A tale in three chapters about longing, love and solitude, unfolding in wondrously surreal snapshots.

When all pieces of the puzzle – surfaces, lights, shapes – have found the place that is uniquely their own, the magic begins: A multiverse opens up, insights flow and inventions are made. The magic touches inner and outer worlds, planets and creatures of every kind. Réka Bucsi invites us to witness this transformative happiness and its secrets.

An empty zoo, a mattress shop, a gas station – in all these strange non-places, pigeons, snails and moles sing of their own worries, problems and crises, unable to perceive the world collapsing around them … An accident in the labs of CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, extinguishes the last glimmer of hope, thanks to Niki Lindroth von Bahr.

47 animated sketches of a surreal world: a fur collar made of a living wolf; a sawn-off tree that soars to the sky like a balloon; a cat that grows by purring and finally begins to stroke her owner. Réka Bucsi weaves an unpredictable web of fantasies that question human relationships with nature, animals and the cosmos and reduce them to absurdity.

When Tord comes home from work one day, he meets an unknown person of the same name in a redesigned apartment. His old home has given way to the new one and is now behind the neighbouring door.
