Man Wanted

Walking down the stairs, he gets immersed in a world he cannot control, and finds himself in a strange trajectory that leads to a chase in empty wagons, full of whispers and shadows in half-lit stations. He tries to get away from all the things that chase him and make him conform: the faces of people in the posters which come to life and haunt him, the framework that threatens to embody and immobilise him; a chase even from his own self.
