Nighttime Hoboken
A nighttime drive through a pulsating metropolis, past the temples of finance capital towering into the sky with their mirrored façades reflecting the neon light of the advertising billboards. Gradually increasing in tension.
With the reception of the sacred sword of the ancestors, the young heroine was burdened with a great responsibility. On her shoulders rests the last hope for a people ravaged by pestilence and famine. Will she be able to once and for all put an end to the dark lord of the eastern lands' sinister schemes?
Our hero is up to his knees in foul-smelling ectoplasm, making his way through the labyrinth of the sewers, always on guard against mutants thirsting for human flesh.
After aeons spent wandering in the dense forests of the enchanted kingdom, a friendly fairy finally peeps out of a hollow tree trunk and heals the avatar with a refreshing potion.
To the centre of the earth, into the depths of space or to the realm of the gods – distant journeys full of hardship have inspired our collective subconscious to dream and tell stories since the dawn of human history.
Year after year, an immeasurably high number of citizens of all countries on earth experience inexplicable phenomena at the outer limits of our conscious everyday reality.
Blue light flickers across the intersection streets as men dressed in black spill out through the rear doors of a white van in all directions of the neighbourhood.
The blockbuster is over and the audience leaves the thickly carpeted rows in batches. Left behind are remnants of sticky puffed corn, inseparably married to the fibres of the carpeting. Popcorn-style retro synth-pop.
