AXLES

POLISH TITLE: TRAKCJE

On a rickety, creaking train, a minor incident sets off a wave of anxiety. A passenger loses his ticket and begins a frantic search, whilst the ticket inspector urging him on only adds to the tense atmosphere. Reality begins to warp and time loses its logic. The trivial situation turns into a dark drama of the loss of control and mounting obsession, emphasized by claustrophobic atmosphere and expressive, trembling lines of the animation.
