Bewegungen eines nahen Bergs
Movements of a Nearby Mountain
Ein aufgelassenes Industriegelände unweit einer jahrhundertealten Erzmine in den steirischen Alpen: Hier führt ein selbstgelernter Mechaniker einen Handel mit gebrauchten Autos und Ersatzteilen zwischen Österreich und seiner alten Heimat Nigeria. Während er für sich allein und mit wundersamer Gelassenheit sein Tagwerk verrichtet, beginnen sich Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft zu überlagern. Ein mysteriöses Versprechen nie versiegender Ressourcen trifft auf Erinnerungen an eine verloren geglaubte Freundschaft.
In a remote, abandoned industrial site near a centuries-old ore mine in the Austrian Alps, a self-taught mechanic runs a business exporting used cars and parts to his native Nigeria. As he pursues his lonely day-to-day activities with wondrous serenity, past, present and future begin to overlap, and memories of a lost friendship resurface against the backdrop of a mysterious promise of everlasting resources.
