취르허 형제는 전작에서 벗어나기보다 변주하는 쪽을 택했다. 사람들은 좁은 실내를 오가고, 소리는 곁을 맴돌고, 아이와 고양이와 개는 물끄러미 바라보고, 한두 가지의 멜로디가 반복해서 삽입된다. 그리고 사물은 무심한 흔적을 남긴다. 정서의 흐름과 그곳에서 발생하는 감각으로 이루어진 영화의 달라진 점이 있다면, 가족에서 멜로로의 변화다. 어긋난 감정의 교류가 인물을 묶는다. 각자의 기억은 어떤 파장도 일으키지 못하고, 부질없는 응시는 상처를 입는다. 시선끼리 벌이는 전쟁에 승자는 없다. 그저 습관처럼 공유했던 공간, 거미가 떠난 거미줄처럼 공간만이 모든 걸 기억하는 무덤으로 남는다. 감독은 그걸 ‘일상의 신화’라 했다. 영화를 본 뒤, ‘디자이어리스’의 「보야지, 보야지」가 예전과 달리 들리지 싶다.

It is a Saturday in autumn, and Karin and Simon are visiting their parents and youngest sister Clara. This family gathering provides the occasion for a dinner together, at which other relatives appear over the course of the day. While the family members animate the apartment’s space with their conversations, everyday activities and cooking preparations, the cat and dog range through the various rooms. they too become a central element in this quotidian familial dance that repeatedly manifests stylized elements, disrupting any naturalistic mode of presentation. In this way, adjoining spaces open up between family drama, fairy tale and the psychological study of a mother.

A nighttime odyssey just before New Year's Eve: a woman and a man walking along a back road, caught up in a fight. Their conflict spreads out around them: it covers the dirty coat the woman is wearing, a child she meets and a waiter who doesn't want to leave her alone. Between external stimuli and internal conditions an idiosyncratic and seemingly inescapable space of repressed aggression and confrontation emerges.

Nadine and Janine share a flat together with their friends Mark and Andreas. The flat share is a universe with its own rules, languages, manners and relationships. A stimulating place, where chaos is floating through corridors and rooms. Pending over everything is the approaching breakup of the community, which becomes more and more perceptible within short moments of silence. One of the flat mates, Janine, is going to leave. Janine's farewell party affects each other of her friends in an different way. A precise description of a fragile structure breaking apart.
