A self-sufficient universe, with rules that escape the common logic but are perfectly valid. Days go by, between daily routine and endless conversations about life, death, God, and weather forecasts. What is divine and what is not? Who brings and who stops the rain? After all, what is normal and what is not? On the fragile and impossible to distinguish border between fiction and documentary, in a contemplative and visually refined way, the film follows the existence of a marginal community that has a profound and unaltered human value, though it’s considered “null” from a social utilitarian point of view. Blatantly absurd actions get a second meaning which is deeply emotional. The only way to escape the essential absurdity of this existence is through love. _AWARDS Best Film Award, Dialektus Documentary Film Festival, Hungary 2008 Best Woman Director, FICCO International Film Festival of Contemporary Cinema, Mexico, 2008 „Golden Dove Best …
