More About Film

One foggy morning in a large Eastern European city, a mysterious person appears—a man carrying a bed. The visitor uses enigmatic, hypnotic techniques to acquire a residence permit, and starts working as a masseur in a suburban housing estate. The bland gated community, built for the rich in the middle of what used to be a cabbage field, is walled off from the ‘worse’ world around it. Despite their wealth, the residents long for the mysterious newcomer’s healing hands, as his eyes seem to penetrate their souls. The film competed in the 77th Venice International Film Festival.
