A unique audiovisual experience that fuses poetry, image, and music to immerse us in the subconscious of a protagonist who embarks on an introspective journey through a surreal world built from random words. A sensation-guided voyage that touches the depths, carried by a subtle aroma of coffee.

Edinstvena avdiovizualna izkušnja, ki prepleta poezijo, podobo in glasbo ter nas potopi v podzavest protagonista, ki se odpravi na introspektivno potovanje skozi nadrealističen svet, zgrajen iz naključnih besed. Potovanje, ki ga vodijo občutki in ki seže v globine, ob tem pa ga spremlja subtilna aroma kave.
