A man from the city arrives in a remote village seeking property earned in an inheritance. Traveling on a rusty bicycle, he bears witness to a series of events that are alternately mundane and consequential. Slowly unfolding in a non-linear narrative structure, Janisch’s work creates an ominous atmosphere thanks to a moody score and clever editing. The alienation of the protagonist outlines the growing divide between contemporary urban and provincial life.
