Synopsis
\n<\/b>Arnar, an anti-car-use urban planner who secretly loves cars, travels to buy his dream car: A ’93 Mazda 323F. The Mazda watches the negotiation dance between Arnar and his desire and its current owner, who grapples with his emotional attachment to the car. After having bought the car, as Arnar lives out his idealized fantasy with the Mazda, the car finally breaks down, and initiates an open dialogue about the state of their relationship.
