GARAGE INVENTORY

By Alyx Ayn Arumpac • 13’ • Hungary • 2014 

Synopsis:

In a small forgotten town in Northern Hungary, created during the period of socialist industrialization, time seems to stand still. Most of the people work in the nearby chemical factory and live in rows of concrete apartment buildings. After work, some do sports or go for a walk around the manmade lake, some go to the pubs. Others retreat to their garages. Full of stories and secrets, these garages have become venues of subtle rebellion against the monotony of repetitive, everyday life, against the collective resignation that seems to fill the air.
