Marcel Łoziński / Poland / 1993 / 12 min. / 16 mm
Brest-Litovsk is the border between Poland and the former Soviet Union. European railway tracks end there; further on they are wider. In order for international trains to continue into Belarus and beyond, Belarussian workers have to change several thousand wheels under the wagons every day. Is this the border between two worlds?
