A many-layered tale in which the main character is the place. The enclosed, stifling city. Strange and lonely people. A young man travels through glossy magazine photographs while at the same time his beloved sets fire to the bed she had through adolescence. A black-clad woman, entranced like an ancient priestess, frightens passers-by with her wild dancing. A painter, wheelchair-bound, takes down pictures from the television screen on his canvas. One-track lives, like railway tracks, intertwine and interweave in a guardhouse-city. Enclosed World follows the footprints of life, searching for the blueprint of the ordinary person.
