Haneke’s analytical camera traces the everyday lives of a group of strangers culminating in a tragic series of events on Christmas Eve. The fragments of their existence including an endless ping-pong match, a comic book theft and an extended family phone conversation are laid along excerpts of the evening news to form an extraordinary, terrible whole.
