OverviewListen icon

This short film tells the amusing tale of a man who feels the common urge to escape the city's noise for the weekend. Made without words, but with a wide range of other sounds, this film tracks our hero to a perfect haven of pandemonium. The countryside, it turns out, is not as unspoiled and quiet as the poets proclaim.
