Translation of the signs in the form of subtitles:
– Will the action never start?
– What do you mean?
– This is how it continues.
– Will we never leave this place?
– Then where are we now?
– We’re here, of course.
– I’ve forgotten how it was recently.
– What does all this have to do with me?
– But you are here.
– Just a moment!
– What?
– I don’t know anymore.
– What were you thinking about?
– It disappeared.
– How did I get here?
– We’ve been here all along.
– Does it go on like this?
– Are you sure?
– This is all I know.
– Everything’s moving!
– You’re the one who’s moving.
– Do you like it?
