"What kind of road have I chosen?", a voice asks. "Our Earth is beautiful!" an old man replies from the abyss. In the sunset two boys are playing Frisbee. Places and elements alternate. Through long and winding tunnels we take a trip to Venice that seems to be exhausted and empty. Gondoliers swing their rudders back and forth as time trickles away. KETAMINe is a film about sounds, beauty, art and life without false comforts that belie their imminence.
