The story is inspired by the subculture of “writers” who create street graffiti at night on illegal spaces, which places them on the wrong side of the law. In the film, of course, reality is moved to a fantastic, surrealistic level. The protagonist creates three-dimensional pictures that suddenly come to life and become real. That makes them a pain in the neck for the local police, who are constantly trailing him. But the young man gives his animated creations almost unlimited power making him elusive for the men in blue. Ultimately, however, they do catch up with him and they mercilessly drag him back into bleak reality. The film is a metaphor for the conflict of unfettered artistic freedom, anarchy and dreams with the cold and impersonal world of order, rules and regulations.
