Synopsis

The fast bus, is the city Taxi-Brousse. It is the symbolic car in Senegal appearing on all the postcards. Originally, they are Renault vehicles, Saviem or Acrobat dating 1960. Major coincidence, they have the same anniversary as the independent Senegal: fifty years of successful collaboration. Technological innovation or art of the resourcefulness, it is what this movie invites to discover.

Honeymoon, by Alkis Papastathopoulos

After a traumatising event involving the cops, Fay is leaving Greece for good. Sandra accompanies her to the bus station, taking this time as a chance to say goodbye. As they are travelling by bus across the country, a transphobic attack by two co-passengers leaves them stranded on a highway in the middle of nowhere.
