The movie presents a good background story for the dull, bleak life of a woman. And that's it. I kept waiting for the plot to unfold, but it kept being monotonous and uneventful. Atmosphere is perfectly depicted and conveys the message of a lack of meaning and means of exiting the depressing reality. But it does it for the sake of doing that and only that. Storywise the film has almost no value to me. It's like a beautiful landscape painting. The worst part is that although having the most boring storyline ever, it leaves nothing to the imagination. The characters don't speak, not because you have to figure out their feelings and intentions, but because there is really nothing to tell. Acting is on par with that. Everyone has the same facial expression throughout the movie, no matter what is happening. If there is a funny, joyful or sad moment, you will see the stillness of their faces persists at all costs.
