An elettric circuit

There exists an electric circuit that has an interruption. The -proper- length of the interruption is L0 . A tract of electric wire runs along the circuit with speed v . The -proper- length of the wire is L0 too. In circuit reference system wire length is L<L0 , so the circuit is never closed. In wire reference system interruption length is L<L0 , so at some instant the circuit is closed. How can you explain the apparent contradiction?
