A Map With Gaps (2006)

Duration: 26:00    Category: Personal, Short   

A Map With Gaps is an account of a journey made by the director’s father through Soviet Russia in the early ‘seventies, in a van he called Supervan. Essentially a catalogue of minor disasters, the story demonstrates that fact can indeed be stranger than fiction and sometimes the grey area between the two is the most interesting place to explore, particularly if you forgot to bring a map.
