A Parked Life
Peter Triest
A hypnotic road movie that takes you into the life of one of the so many Eastern European truck drivers who live their lives as highway nomads in Western Europe. He sees the cracks in his marriage on his phone and he can see the cracks in Europe through his truckâs windscreen.
