Description:
Anthropologists discover artifacts of a pagan tribe in a thin forest along the Moscow Ring Road – a highway that marks the boundaries of the Russian capital. The tribe is entirely dependent on roadside trash collected along the highway: lost items, road signs, car parts enter into their material culture and are used in rituals, which symbolically reflect the life of the road. Under the guidance of a shaman and with the help of psychoactive substances the members of the tribe induce themselves into a state of trance where they ecstatically imitate the actions of road workers, truck drivers and road policemen.
