As every morning, men get on the tram to go to work. But on that day, to the rhythm of the tickets inserted in the ticket-stamping machine, the vehicle gets erotic and the conductress’ desire turns the reality into a surrealistic and phallic fantasy.

Herra是个捷克女孩，从小家庭不幸。大学期间，她爱上了来自阿富汗的Nazir。嫁给他之前，她完全无法想象喀布尔的生活。原来，他们家一大家子人住在一起，而且女人结婚时必须是处女，还必须生孩子。生不出小孩的Herra，跟丈夫收养了穆罕穆德（小名Maad）。西方女人在阿富汗会有哪些遭遇？Maad又给他们的生活带来了哪些变化呢？

生活总是周而复始，一不留神，便成为生活的囚徒。 孤独的男人每日带着小狗逛街，他迷上一位美丽的姑娘，两人却只能擦肩而过；老学究一心沉迷书本，面对娇妻的殷勤服侍无动于衷，继续埋首；男子求爱不得，上吊自杀，却被心仪的爱人救下，再次求爱，再遭拒绝；一对男女偷情，然总在关键时刻被人打扰，欢情难尽。 这些人每天重复着同样的事情，每天体验着同样的痛苦和失落却全然不知。当平衡被打破时，也许反倒能找到别样的快乐…… 本片荣获1995年柏林国际电影节最佳动画短片奖。
