Marathon

by Amir Naderi

Every year, Gretchen spends one whole day solving as many crosswords as possible. Her aim is to break her own record, even though she knows that nobody will be there to celebrate with her. She uses to spend this day on several lines of the underground, in New York. That's the place where she can give the best. Focused on the crosswords, she doesn't care about the world around her. The film was shot in New York, two months before the 9/11.
