The earthquake-proof individual residential building "LOTOS" is a quickly erected, capital, fireproof and earthquake-proof house with a minimum consumption of such material as reinforced concrete, while ensuring a minimum construction cost. For this purpose, the flat walls of a large-panel house are replaced by thinner curvilinear ones, which have high rigidity and stability under the influence of seismic loads. In many regions of the world it is possible to solve the problem of providing the population with comfortable affordable housing by this method.

The film addresses various challenges that could be faced particularly by pedestrians, people with disabilities, and women* regarding public transport, the exclusive infrastructure of roads and public spaces, and the design of underground passages. Around a round table, young people discuss their stories regarding the confusing and challenging urban experiences where lack and sometimes the abundance of unreasonable passages makes life easier for cars, yet so tough for the citizens. Further, the dysfunctioning "Top-up" points for accessing public transport are also reflected in the film. Most of the public transport in Baku could be accessed through the "Baku card" payment, whereas most bus stops are underequipped with the machines to top the cards or they are not properly functioning. The situation puts many people in a helpless situation when they try to hop on quickly to the coming bus, but also there is a sweet culture of asking others on the bus to pay for them in return for small cash. Last, the unsafe reality of Baku's streets for women and the lack of inclusion regarding people with disabilities are shortly reflected in the film.

The film aims at showcasing the diversity of bench design, the use of the bench as well as dismantling the more hostile effects of certain bench designs. It is an investigation of a banal object that we all have an experience with and which we all interact with in our everyday life. The film highlights how the built environment is embedded with a series of material objects and non-human entities that interfere with questions of inclusivity and exclusivity. Furthermore, these non-human objects that seek to perform certain actions will contain some degree of ambivalence, in the sense they will be inclusive fore some actions (and people), while for others the contrary.
