Adapted from the novel by Krasnahokai, the whole film is divided into 12 parts: "It is reported that they are coming, we will come back to life, have a clue, spider work 1, unbound, spider work 2, Irimiyas speech, prospects , Heaven? Nightmare?, future expectations, work and troubles, closed circles.” The first six paragraphs of the movie follow the tango dance steps and narrate from different viewpoints around a scene. “On the run-down farm, people bought cows and divided the money. Ready to leave". After wandering in desperate and empty lives for too long, people are ready to break their existing lives and walk into a new future with money. In the last six paragraphs of the film, following the retreat of the tango dance steps, it revolves around an incident that "two swindlers cheated the peasants' money, and people return to their original desperate lives." The ignorant people believed in the scam by the liar Iremias on the "new cooperative farm" and gave him the money. They had to return to the original desperate and empty life, and the film formed a closed circle. The "unbound" part of the movie is outside the whole story. It describes the story of a little girl on the farm who was cheated of money by her brother and killed her own cat and then committed suicide. Therefore, this "unbound" can be regarded as the whole story. Short version. The film lens has a strong Tarkovsky solemn style, and the long and slow motion of the lens is full of depression and hopeless attitude towards life. In addition, Tal's horizontal panning lens is similar to Fellini's composition method, and the ritual display of distant and near scenes adds a sense of hierarchy to the picture. Tarr also loves large depth-of-field lenses. As people go deeper into the depth of field, the lens rises slightly, giving a sense of overlooking fate.

    Everyone who finished watching should breathe a sigh of relief and sigh, finally finished watching. The long time and the long shots have pushed people to a desperate situation. As the audience, like the villagers, they fall into a suffocating experience where even breathing is too noisy. Such extreme images are only for admiration, but not for taste.
