It's a relatively difficult movie to get into. It starts like this, develops like this, and ends like this
. The life of a few families in a small town in the 1970s, there is no story, just a naked life. The
beginning and development are relatively slow and dull, so that I slowly fell asleep after seeing it, but I clearly felt A kind of unease, deeply embedded in the dullness, uneasiness that never erupted.
