On Body and Soul

Endre, the director of a modern slaughterhouse and Maria, the new quality inspector sent by the controlling authorities, can’t stand each other. One day, by pure chance, they learn that they just had the exact same dream the night before. Both of them are embarrassed by this discovery. The following day, they check: once again, they had the same dream. As they continue to compare dreams day after day, suspicious and astounded, it becomes clear that they meet each night in a common realm. This other world is peaceful and harmonious: a snowy forest, where Endre and Maria are graceful deer who gently love each other. They cannot ignore the intimacy they share so effortlessly in their dreams; hesitantly, they try to recreate it in their every-day, flesh and blood existence.
