Reviews
“An elegantly intertwined series of relationships and longing in which the characters were worked out together with the actors in improvisations, observations and rehearsals. Staged unobtrusively and with pleasant ease, the film renounces any artistry and places people who have not been spoiled by life next to those who face the increasing competition in the professional world with self-discipline and tunnel vision. "
