Endre, the middle-aged manager of an abattoir, is drawn to the delicately beautiful, shy Maria, the new hygiene inspector and slowly but surely they begin to fall in love – but in the alternative universe of their shared nightly dreams, where they are deer wandering in a snowy forest, a pastoral dreamscape that contrasts starkly with their brutal, bloody daily workplace.
A beautifully composed, out-of-the-ordinary and quietly mind-expanding story exploring human connection and the difficulty in finding it; intriguing and intoxicating.
