Plot

A young couple has to live with the husband's parents.

Sinekatalog’s take

Béla Tarr's raw first feature follows a young couple forced to live with the husband's parents in a cramped Budapest flat. Handheld and documentary-like, it is an angry, intimate drama of housing and family pressure.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
