On a lonely farm in Southern Hungary, a sixty year old couple leads a dreary life punctuated by vain rituals: getting up in the morning, eating, going back to bed, and a little activity in the middle for a few animals to make sure that they stay alive. But the documented subject is not so much the tedious aspects of domestic existence as the empty emotions that it is intended to protect. 

Is it possible, without the aid of fiction, to record the disappearance of love and its desertion in solitary memories?

This is the Bekettian challenge taken up by this film, of sad and simple beauty.
