Synopsis

Piroska is an overweight, alienated nurse who can’t resist cream-filled pastries. She works in the terminal ward of a hospital; her life is surrounded by death. One day she sets off to find her long-lost childhood friend. While tracing her recollections, she embarks on a paradox-filled voyage within her own memory and the memory of those she encounters. –Cannes Film Festival

Hard to pin down, a nostalgic, melancholy journey into understanding the force (a long lost friendship) that motivates the walk of his sad woman towards her goal. Interesting camera work, almost entirely filmed in mid-shots and wide shots, no close-ups.
