Plot

A couple in a housing project.

Sinekatalog’s take

Béla Tarr's early drama follows a young couple in a Hungarian housing project whose marriage strains under money, work and boredom. Raw, handheld and unromantic, it is a realist study of a relationship falling apart.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
