, a weary financial director with a withered arm, and Mária , a painfully shy, meticulous quality inspector with a photographic memory, live quiet lives of isolation. They barely speak at work, yet they discover by chance that they share the exact same dream every single night. In this shared dreamworld, they are a pair of graceful deer in a snowy forest, nuzzling each other by a stream.
In a sterile, fluorescent-lit slaughterhouse in Budapest, two lonely souls find an impossible connection.
The story follows their awkward, often heartbreaking attempts to bridge the gap between their ethereal dream-life and the harsh reality of their waking bodies. While they are bold and affectionate as deer, their human selves are paralyzed by fear and past traumas. It is a quiet, meditative exploration of whether two people can truly love each other when their souls are ready, but their bodies are not.
