Lazar, the author’s grandfather, a few years ago got a cell phone with a camera and since then documents everything around him. After a substantial amount of accumulated material, he asks the author to teach him to edit so he can send his shortened movies to those for which he was filming. A few days around Christmas they start a joint project: record winter daily life of a small village on the sea and prepare a holiday meal, while Grandpa is trying to master the technique of film editing.

Postcards

Plants such as Dracaena, Ficus, and Philodendron were integral parts of the socialist modernist architecture in the seventies and eighties. Today, they remain strong visual reminders of the socialist state. In "Currents", the movement of plants, the only remaining residents of the building, may be read as a part of a wider context, the change of currents. One paradigm of understanding space is being replaced with another one, the concept of the welfare state, and its undertakings are treated with contempt. Absurdity is a feature of this situation, in which that which was once of great importance becomes completely irrelevant.
