Mitehpo Vivpensa

A woman rides a bus to work where she develops pictures of other places and other people's lives. The woman rides home on the bus. Another uneventful day lived out by an extraordinary person. Mitehpo Vivpensa conveys the banality and beauty of her existence as we witness how she is reacting to change.
