When two introverted workers at a meat processing plant discover that they both share the same dream, they are puzzled, scared and suspicious. But as they come to accept this peculiar coincidence, they decide to make what happens when they close their eyes into reality. An unusual love story, this Golden Bear winner at 2017’s Berlin Film Festival was the first film in 18 years for director Ildikó Enyedi, whose debut My Twentieth Century won the Caméra d’Or at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival.
Part of the Meat season. Also showing: Killer of Sheep, Delicatessen, Raw

“Mad, singular and heart-stirring in a way that’s hard to comprehend
”
“Bizarre and brutal tale of lovers in the slaughterhouse… strange, unsettling romance… a love story that unfolds both in a secret inner dreamscape and an outer world of ostensible normality”
“A grim fairytale that suggests it’s possible to keep the wolf from the door”
“Turns a ridiculous premise into a surprisingly accessible love story… it highlights the tantalizing idea that the minutiae of day-to-day problems matters less than the prospects of escaping them through companionship”
