Synopsis

On a crisp morning, Josef sets out through the streets of his hometown wearing nothing but his signature oversized rubber wellies. With every step, he becomes both cartographer and explorer, attuning his senses to the world around him—his eyes tracing hidden corners of the urban landscape, his ears capturing its muted symphony of footsteps, distant engines, and the rustle of leaves.

As Josef meanders through back alleys, playgrounds, and empty lots, familiar façades transform into portals of discovery.
