Melancholic and thought-provoking

It is a story of an accidental encounter between two people, a mysterious young woman and an eccentric man who seems to crave human contact. Nature and the mountainous landscape are not less important than the characters and their conversations.

There are so many possible meanings of this film. Is it a story about the modern loneliness and the invisible barriers which separate people? About the contemplation of nature and the feeling of unity with nature? The real, deep meaning of life? Two individuals who rebel against the cult of productivity and success and seek happiness in "useless" things?

In any case this is a film which will definitely make you think about your life and life in general if only you have enough patience to watch a very slow-paced movie where seemingly nothing happens. A love for nature and contemplation will surely help you appreciate this film.
