Estonia On The Seine
Synopsis
A Parisian bus. Its passengers. Evasive glances, polite silence: the well-regulated codes of cohabitation between travelers, confined together for the duration of a journey. Then an incident, a tiny grain of sand, will disrupt this fragile ecosystem. The tension rises and the thin veneer of civility cracks.
