For a viewer from East Europe, the story is less absurde. Because, in easy manner, it could be defined as a story of love under Comunism. Or Capitalism. The differences are minor. Same social pressure, same forms of loneliness, same dark humor, same idiot boss and cruel/hypocritic colegues. And same traits of end. So, interesting remains the acting. More than good - precise. A film about control of the other life. And, sure, about freedom.
