Two characters want to get away from their lives for a bit. Witold and Fuchs leave their exams and jobs aside and settle in a place that hopefully will provide them with a quiet time. However, they end up in a disturbing place that will progressively turn into all the things they didn’t expect to find.
Witold and Fuchs look for accommodation at a country house. A series of findings that may very well be incoherent (or maybe even unreal) are revealed to them as elements of a dark plot. Their crazy investigations include collecting evidence, and constant findings: complementing mouths, hanged people, and lines going across rooms like arrows. Gombrowicz built his crime novel like a machine that creates its universe as it moves forward, blindly, shaping itself in the limits of language. Image-literature that would make us believe any transposition attempt is a jump from a cliff. The film recovers that vertigo in a chaotic choreography of suspected bodies in permanent motion, hilarious faces, music, and endless running. MA
