Filmed one year after the declaration of the independence of Kosovo, the work questions the notions of border and utopia. While hovering in the middle of a dialogue with the space and its strong presence. Is it enough to draw borders to create a state, or is the independence of nations utopian? How can borders create places that do not exist? Being aware of this fact, the work infiltrates itself into the space, without erasing it. By sticking itself at the signboard of Prishtina entrance. Utopia questions the topography & cartography as well as our personal geographies while transforming a place into a passage from anywhere to anywhere.
