The film tells such a romantic story that two souls can meet in a dream, whisper, they can get rid of all the shackles of the world, linger in a dream, and because of a chance, the two bodies can get to know each other.

He was the manager of a slaughterhouse, and she was a sociable and even rigid quality inspector. Two equally lonely souls seem to fall in love at first sight. A sudden incident revealed the overlapping dreams of the two. So, the two shy and tangled bodies met. The heroine's love is deep and beautiful. She will memorize every word he said, will use two seasoning bottles to simulate tomorrow's encounter, and will use the doll on the bed to touch her body to overcome cleanliness.

However, the male protagonist only showed concern and hesitation, and finally the female protagonist chose to go to the end of her life in the bath and sad music. The plot here has a lot of meaning and a sense of black humor, and the aftermath of the song is a phone call from him. So she was naked and let her blood flow all over the place, and finally came the sentence "I love you so much".

The ending of the film is equally amusing and seems to express a deep concern. After the night, the two got up for breakfast, and she found the bread crumbs dropped by the male protagonist, and her cleanliness instinct drove her to put it away quickly. When the soul of love transitions to the body, it seems that it is really tested. So when the male protagonist asked "what did you dream about yesterday", the female protagonist's answer was "I didn't dream about anything last night". Since then, their dreams have been empty.

This Hungarian film simultaneously expresses many European-like emotions. For example, the combination of a successful old male protagonist and a young female protagonist, as well as the wife who "did with the audience" in the words of the male protagonist's friend, and discrimination against new employees, etc., the movie contains many elements under the shell of love. And the topic, coupled with the beautiful and clean screen shots, the fascinating plot design, can be said to be a good movie.

    The fatal flaw is that although the light and shadow forms are used enough, it does not feel like a dream, because the core is really empty and thin to the extreme, the image of the deer is clumsy enough, and the middle class is empty and boring. And show. The most frustrating thing is that he was cured after an appointment at the end. Is this a comedy? !

    It turns out that the most complete love is the entanglement of the soul, the entanglement of the body, and the interconnection of the spirit and the flesh again and again in dreams.
