There is no music in the entire film, except for the accordion played by the hero's grandfather. The shots are very plain, the actors are not handsome, there are a lot of long shots, and there are time-lapse empty shots, so I have to admire the director's self-confidence.
When it comes to revenge, we think: gore, violence, pornography and gunfights, and finally a hearty showdown. The director told us stories of coincidental powerlessness and accidental fulfillment.
In Vienna, Austria, the male protagonist was imprisoned for stealing. After he came out, he worked as a handyman in a brothel and became friends with a prostitute. However, the brothel owner wanted the woman to be a prostitute for high-ranking officials and celebrities. Successfully robbed the bank. When everything was going well, the woman was waiting for the male protagonist in the car on the side of the road, but she was driven by the police because of illegal parking. She happened to meet the male protagonist who came back. The male protagonist pulled a gun and forced the police to flee. The gun was shot, but missed, and the two escaped. But as soon as the camera turned, the woman was shot, and the male protagonist could only escape to his grandfather's house in the countryside, full of grief and anger. Accidentally discovers that the husband of a supermarket worker who often visits his grandfather's house is the policeman who killed his girlfriend, so he waits for an opportunity to take revenge.
At the climax of the film, the police were often not in place when they were learning guns, and were repeatedly attacked by the instructors. Once the case came out, the judiciary would define whether the woman's death was accidental or manslaughter. Under the pressure of the family that has been unable to successfully conceive, the policeman's personal state has also reached its lowest point, so the policeman who accidentally kills and the robber who is in love with each other in the film gradually form two volcanoes that are about to erupt. Several times on the forest trail where the police ran in the morning, the male protagonist did not shoot. In the end, the male protagonist asked the police directly: Are you not afraid of her boyfriend coming to take revenge? The policeman was helpless: I asked him to kill him, and when he turned around secretly, the policeman said angrily: I want to ask him a question - why did you bring her? take her with you! ! ! The male protagonist was dumbfounded and finally threw the phone into the calm lake.
Before the climax was over, when the supermarket girl called to stop the affair with the male protagonist, she found that he was the robber, but at this time she was also successfully pregnant, and only said: Don't tell him! Walk out of the house calmly. The male protagonist finished his work in the cattle pen and picked up the best winter apples this season. . .
The film ends quietly in a long shot in the courtyard, still without music, as if it were deliberately the most stubborn fight against Vienna's musical capital. It's not an inspirational movie either, but a life of forgiveness is a life with the greatest chance.
