In Belarus, the presidential elections of 2020 triggered massive protests and brutal repressions when «concerned» citizens began to report random strangers, their own coworkers, friends, and even relatives to the police—those who participated in protest actions or those who simply publicly voiced their opinion. What was the motivation behind such calls? Who are these people? How do they live today? This will be discussed in the documentary "Everything is fine. I'm sleeping."

Aber ich lebe hier.
The hackney carriage, once the fastest means of transportation for aristocrats and commoners, is now a cliché-ridden Viennese cultural asset, a popular tourist attraction and an object of hate for animal rights activists. Like the beggars, the hackney carriages are "children of the street". Their stand is their village square. They know the locals, they are hated or loved. The rhythm of the horses determines their pace and they are dependent on tourism. Ulli Gladik and her team portray five horse-drawn carriage drivers: we are with them in the stables, see them on their tours, experience them at their stables in St. Stephen's Cathedral, handling their horses and in discussions with animal rights activists. A film about passion, cliché and tradition, the relationship between animals, humans and the big city and a Viennese cultural asset threatened with extinction.

Two men are driving through the streets of Milan to transport a mysterious box. Their route is the source of other routes, which reveal an awareness of the city that was previously dormant. An awareness that is given to the viewer by the stories of the two men, now presented: Leonetto Di Ciolo and Felice Trovati. Felice is also the builder of a particular object, the Revisionist Bicycle, a pendulum clock constructed from bicycle parts that can alter the passage of time. We discover that it is precisely this totem that is the object transported at the beginning of the film, and that the two protagonists are on a mission: to place the bicycle-clock in a specific spot in the city, because Spring, understood as a form of endurance of wonder for apparently useless things, is Spring also in the city.
