Thoughts cannot be suddenly stopped, just like we cannot simply stop on the highway. The asphalt turns into a hypnotic stream, and the real world blends with absurd visions of a catastrophe. An experimental film about fear, an accelerated mind, and the impossibility of stopping the inevitable crash.

Theatre director Jan Kačena poisoned himself in 2019 by inhaling fumes and suffered irreversible brain damage. While his partner makes a film as a declaration of love, he lies unconscious. In the film, the director follows moments in the everyday lives of three people close to him: Czech rapper Tyler Durden, painter Tadeáš Pochman and film director Helena Papírníková. In a naturalistic way, it captures drug addiction, self-destructive tendencies and family problems, which are the subject of intimate, often uncomfortable conversations. The result is a diary-style probe into the fate of the artistic bohemia of late capitalism.
