Maloin leads a simple life without prospects at the edge of the infinite sea; he barely notices the world around him, has already accepted the slow and inevitable deterioration of life around him and his all but complete loneliness. When he becomes a witness to a murder, his life takes a sudden turn. He comes face to face with issues of morality, sin, punishment, the line between innocence and complicity in a crime, and this state of scepsis leads him to the ontological question of the meaning and worth of existence. The film is about desire, man's indestructible longing for a life of freedom and happiness, about illusions never to be realised - about things that give all of us energy to continue living, to go to sleep and get up day after day... Maloin's story is ours - all of those who doubt and are able to question our humdrum existence.

  • anyone knows if the main theme by vig mihaly is available on cd?

    I can only find it as music for an alternative trailer version.

    TY

  • It's a film about human dignity - so pure. It's not an entertaining film, it's sure, it needs some effort to see it, but there is nothing to cut in this film, there is no free effect, all is surrounded to a very clear vision with an extraordinary precision and without any limit in the camera work - there is no more camera, no discontinuity, no cutting. It's a perfect human film from a human being, who remembers us what is humanity.

  • @1980johnnyboy It's not French. It's in English, directed by a Hungarian, adapted from a French novel.

    Understand now?

  • it's one of a bad french film of the year
