Project Description
Stories of commuting.
Routes / Routines
In German language
Short stories of commuting, routes and routines of everyday life.
Conversations going over the River Weser – in trams, local trains and on a car-ferry. Stories were collected of passengers in conversation during brief and more extended trips through Bremen and its vicinity: where are they travelling to, where are they coming from, is commuting itself a respite from the banal? In the film we hear the commuters and see the landscape during these daily journeys over the River Weser. A cinematic map of travel in daily life.
