Central Bus Station
Der 1967 geplante und erst 1993 fertig gestellte zentrale Busbahnhof in Tel Aviv ist einer der größten seiner Art. Dieser überdimensionierte Bau sollte durch seine bewusst komplizierte Innenarchitektur, die Menschen dazu verleiten, sich darin zu verlieren und dabei einem Kaufrausch zu verfallen.§Im Laufe der Zeit ist dieser Moloch aus Beton jedoch immer mehr zu einer temporären Zufluchtsstätte für Menschen geworden, die am sozialen Rand stehen - Flüchtlinge, Kriminelle, Prostituierte. Elšíks persönlicher Film führt uns in dieses Sammelbecken der israelischen Gesellschaft und gibt uns dabei auf ungewöhnliche Weise Einblick in die Geschichte dieses Landes.
Only recently, Tel Aviv’s Central Bus Station was still the largest in the world. But this oversized space serves more than its original purpose to bring in masses of people who, confused by its complicated interior design, succumb to shopping fever. Over time this concrete monster, which won’t be easy to tear down, has become a temporary refuge for people on the margins of society – refugees, criminals, prostitutes. Like its main protagonist, the tourist guide Yonatan, the film’s director is fascinated by one of the wonders of the world of redundancy and the microcosm of the people who live here.
