Maloin leads a simple life without prospects at the edge of the infinite sea; he barely notices the world around him, has already accepted the slow and inevitable deterioration of life around him and his all, but complete, loneliness.
After witnessing a murder and finding a suitcase full of money his decision not to report the crime sees his life take a sudden turn as he comes face to face with issues of morality, sin, punishment, and the line between innocence and complicity in a crime. This state of crisis leads him to question the meaning of life and the worth of existence.
Béla Tarr's film is about desire, man's indestructible longing for a life of freedom and happiness, about illusions never to be realised - about things that give all of us energy to continue living, to go to sleep and get up day after day.
