Recreation is a disorienting story of growing up in a small town, and propels at breakneck speed from behind the eyes of an unnamed character visiting places past. We are dragged between past and present, memory blending seamlessly with reality; time travelling bus station clocks, backstreet cycle speedways, portals between lock-ups and the local petrol station, a spotlit road movie. As the tour of hard post-industrial landscape deepens, we discover a rich place of exotica, of comedy and tragedy, car accidents, psychics, lovesickness, dogs, passion and yearning—a split second psychogeographic dream hovering the line between inner consciousness and outside life.
