Overview

A parable about the human pursuit of the absolute, which often takes the form of a brutal rat race, inspired by Jacek Gaj's copperplate engraving Ladders. Its characters climb higher and higher, trying to reach a colorful mirage that appears from time to time. The goal will never be achieved, as successive "ladders" will only allow them to pass the next levels of their journey. What remains is the toil of Sisyphean wandering.
