Read allTop cyclist Roman has had enough of serving as a domestique, a bicycle racer who sacrifices for the team. And since strenuous training and a strict regimen don't lead to the type of performance he longs for, he sets up an oxygen tent at home. His obsession with having a sports career, however, renders him oblivious to his wife Sarlota's desire to have a baby.

Brutal abusive and ultimately boring

I saw this at Karlovy Vary, for its premiere, and was hugely disappointed. The intensity on the screen was only there through the constant feeling of when will this end? It was just plain boring, and the level of brutality to his wife was unnecessary.

An intimate horror of the breakdown of the marital relationship and of the human body

In the film, we look into the apartment of a married couple for a few months. The image and camera ingeniously depict the pursuit of perfection, the complete control of every aspect of life. From trying to conceive a child, through maintaining weight, to endless training, thanks to which the cyclist's husband would like to get on the Tour de France. The couple is going through a crisis because everyone takes care of their own goals. An intimate and brutal view of a two-career relationship. Music and footage make you feel like you're watching a horror movie. And in the psychological sense, you also watch.
