A film about a man in Germany.

Sinekatalog’s take

Sohrab Shahid-Saless's film follows a retiring Prussian-style clerk in Germany, in a precise, chilly portrait of routine. Spare and exact in long takes, it is a masterly, unsettling study of order, habit and solitude.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
