"Luis, I Think" is continuous, loop-like roadtrip from the birth countries of the authors (Yugoslavia and Bulgaria) to Austria, their current home, confronted to the tedious and unpredictable routine of crossing borders, in the period between 99-00, this work represents a personal documentation on the journey, as a row of situations that sometimes can overgrow or totally redefine our common values and understanding of the world's complexity, situations that sometimes exceed by far our possibilities to control them such as any military intervention or state of war. The way to travel, procedures meeting the real life, whereas the entity of human is being doubly tested, from the position of the neutral observer - traveler, and the opposite position of not being able to preserve neutrality, and being forced to react and to play by or against the rules, in their longing for the constant redefinition of the "real-world", the authors investigate the experience of traveling, while offering a close encounter in between sequences of ordinary and peculiar circumstances combined in rather non-linear and random way, by enabling the viewer to compose a sequence of images and situations of it's own.
