Synopsis
What if one day you met someone who, at night, dreams the same dream you do. Try and imagine... Would you be thrilled? Would you be scared? Would find it funny? Or rather intrusive? Or, perhaps, romantic? But what if you are not the romantic type at all? If you shudder at the thought of esoteric crap? What if you have problems dealing with your own emotions? How would you face this stranger next day after your shared, tender dreams of the night before? Would you attempt to create the same intimacy and affection you share in your dreams during the day? How is it possible that at night, several kilometers apart, while both of you sleep in lonely beds, you can become one in soul and body, but during the day, facing each other in your flesh and blood reality, you are unable to properly get through even a measly first date? And what if even the second date was a catastrophe? And the third was especially disgraceful? Would you give up? And if you gave up, could you stand it? Could you bear knowing that the person who is your soul mate at night and whose body so naturally caresses yours, remains a stranger to you during the day? Wouldn’t you just die?A contemporary tale about the pain and beauty of our existence. Endre, the director of a modern, decent, EU-comform slaughterhouse and Maria, the new quality inspector sent by the controlling authorities can’t stand each other. One day, by pure chance, they learn that they just had the exact same dream the night before. Both of them are embarrassed by this discovery.
The following day they check: once again, they had the same dream. As they continue to compare dreams day after day, suspicious and astounded, it becomes clear that they meet each night in a common realm. This other world is peaceful and harmonious: a snowy forest, where Endre and Maria are graceful deer who gently love each other. They cannot ignore the intimacy they share so effortlessly in their dreams.
Hesitantly, they try to recreate it in their every-day, flesh and blood existence. It proves to be harder than they guessed. After struggles, failed attempts, insults and tensions, the result is humiliating disappointment. But just when they are about to give up, passion breaks down the wall raised by awkwardness, and these two people, who are so evidently not fit for love, find each other. From that day on, they step as lightly and gracefully beside each other in their waking hours as their dream-world alter-egos do among the trees of the forest.
