On Body and Soul

A subtle melodrama about love in dreams and reality. Two introverted and lonely individuals—he and she—work at a slaughterhouse. By chance, the characters discover that they have the same dreams and that they can interact with each other in this shared dream space. The true story of their love unfolds at night, while in the «real» world of the slaughterhouse, everything turns out to be much more complicated.

This tender and funny love story was inspired by a poem by Hungarian poet Agnes Nemes Nagy about the invisible passions raging inside a person.
