A story based on real events, which builds up very slowly, but the meaning of everything is in that slowness, the feeling of routine, the lack of goals, the apathy and social distancing, all of which is shown masterfully in this movie. The excellent acting and the few dialogues are fundamental and the expressions often say it all. The movie is divided into acts and gradually builds up its story, which is hard, difficult, disturbing and provokes many reflections.
