Re/cycle
“A forest. A bicycle. A man. Where did they come from? And where do they go?”
Synopsis
With input from actor and writer Jan Hlobil, director and cinematographer Rene Smaal presents a film in the true surrealist tradition, in the sense that only 'found' elements were used, and that it defies interpretation based on ordinary cause-and-effect time sequence.
