It is a story about a couple whose life together has come to an end – they struggle with boredom.
The movie starts with a supper, which is obviously dull and intolerable for both of them, especially for the Women. When there is an interruption with the flow and the Man shifts his attention to the possible interloper, the Woman disappears. As there is still some feelings and curiosity left, the Man starts to look for the Woman. He finds her after interrupting her supper with a new companion and realizes his defeat.
This film is about boredom, existential void and yearning for something different. The story is technically a mixture of frame-by-frame animation projected on the forest. There is a shift in the design of the characters and the real forest which should emphasize the acting of characters and the importance of the choices they make.
