Based on miniDV archive shot in 2006 in a Ukrainian city of Lviv during the celebration of 750 years since its founding. The film speaks of herd instinct, mass behavior and crowd control and is constructed as a multi-screen centered on the idea of surveillance cameras, movement tracking and facial recognition of people who are gathering in places of historical memory urged by a need for entertainment, wanting to be among strangers and following them with no particular goal. A project about loss of liberty in the times when people are treated as objects for machine learning: everyone is a target and everything is recorded. It questions the possibility of perception of other humans as mysterious and unpredictable beings without calculating their emotions algorithmically but following senses and intuition.
