Highway Confessions
The Netherlands2017documentary52'Konkurs dokumentalny (2018)
Time passes differently here and human matters take on a completely different weight. A chapel by the motorway is visited by drivers that are looking for moments of privacy or concentration. Some put down their most hidden secrets in a notebook that was placed here especially for this purpose. The documentary form enables us to find out more about those who cannot express their thoughts and feelings out loud.
