synopsis

Vast and inaccessible, barren landscapes hide industrial structures and unknown technology. The stream of panoramic shots and visual explorations of the discharges and movements of the majestic machines is accompanied by the enchanting sound design of Tomáš Jiřička and framed by an interview with a scientist from the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.

“I’m not too keen on watching science fiction, because I work in this field.” — Matěj Peterka
