Film has been shoot at Yuri Gagarin Road in the city of Zagreb, probably the only one in Croatia ever named after an cosmonaut, back then while Croatia was a part of socialist Yugoslavia, and space travel was seen as optimistic sign of brighter human future. The road still bears the same name, but nowadays it’s inhibited with impoverished people who are selling everything, from canned food to old clothes, just to earn a little extra cash to survive until the next month.
Film is a montage of shoots made by DSLR photo camera and mobile phone while passing by the Gagarin road, as well as with the sound recorded at the same location.
