The famous Moscow's electric subway starts off the station. Some people are dozing off, others are reading while a few are deep in their own thoughts. Some snippets of conversation can be heard and cell phones ring. Someone is selling beautifully embroidered table cloths; a kitten escaped from someone's basket. From time to time a jazz plays on the board or a single accordionist sings Spasiba, zizn... The film was made as a part of Russia - Poland. New Gaze program.
