Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
Every day, a tram conductor shuttles silent, identical men to work. As the ride begins, the rhythm of tickets punching stirs her desires, and the tram takes on a life of its own. Her arousal transforms the mundane journey into a surreal, phallic fantasy.
Making playful use of repetition to build an increasingly lively, jazzy tempo, this prize-winning short keeps time with its protagonist’s mounting satisfaction. Distracting her from work, her idle fantasizing lifts the film from the mundane into gleefully psychedelic imagery.
