brief info:
Peaceful life of the developing Apollo oil rafinery in fascist Slovak capital in 1944 is unexpectedly disrupted by American bombs. Traces of the event have covered the concrete foundations of the glass skyscrapers, under which the fascist legacy seeps subtly. A playful documentary opera about conformism for archives, narrator and trombone.
The film is in the early stage of development.
The project was presented in the Audio-Visual Pitching Lab of the 9th Beyond Borders| Kastellorizo International Documentary Festival in 2024.
