What happens

Nocturna Artificalia, albo ci, którzy pragną bez końca (ang. Nocturna Artificalia, or Those Who Desire Without End) – film animowany z 1979 roku, będący debiutem braci Quay. W przypadku animacji Stephena i Timothy’ego Quay trudno mówić o fabule; mamy tu do czynienia raczej z ciągiem obrazów, których bohaterami są: postać wędrująca nocą po mieście, tramwaje i samo miasto. W filmie użyto muzyki Stefana Cichońskiego, nagranej przez Chamber Orchestra of Highgate School w Londynie. Motyw tytułowy jest autorstwa Zygmunta Koniecznego. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
