To Those That Will, Ways Are Not Wanting plot

The Jacques Tati-like scenes that visual artist Paulien Oltheten encountered in Russia and Iran are wonderful observations of perseverance. Snow heaps, posts, fences: the obstacles that people encounter in their daily walk are countless. In Isfahan, Iranians try to maneuver their bicycles and carts through the far too narrow passage between two posts, while in Samara, Russia, the passengers of a hovercraft try to get off a wobbly staircase with their large snowshoes. The parallel worlds in the two countries mirror each other.
