Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
Elina Sanc and Paul Osipow star in this slow-moving drama that relies heavily on the style of the French New Wave. A factory worker battles boredom (so does the viewer) as he struggles to balance his job and his home life. To advance his career, he accepts a position in a far-away factory, leaving his wife behind. Later, he has a brief affair with another woman. Union propaganda and the extreme lethargy of factory work are reoccurring themes.
