ABOUT THE MOVIE
The film portrays the artistic lives of four graffiti artists – their creative process, assumptions about the society and how they define their own position within it. Zipo is an artist who works on trains. Simpl draws graffiti on the roofs. Nebitno writes messages and phrases on city walls. Mane Mei is halfway between being legal and illegal, he makes street art. The film is to a larger extent a portrait of invented tags than it is of persons that created and breathed life into them.
