“Nachttanke”(night gas station) plays with time and breaks with conventional vision. Everything starts as it ends, but why has it started? Nine CCTV cameras monitor the events, but the resolution is concealed. A crime is committed; the police make an arrest, a woman just wants to refuel, but what is the point? Everything is as it seems to be, and yet different than what you think. One thing is for sure: the clock is ticking…backwards.
