It is wintertime. The landscape is bare and grey. An isolated farm is located next to the woods. An old married couple lives there. Their life consists of everyday activities which they are not capable of coping with any more and, furthermore, mostly of boredom. For his daily work the farmer has an old donkey to help him. When the pragmatic farmer learns that the death of his longtime companion is near, he notices that he loves the animal more than he can admit. A parable about death and parting, a fairy tale for grown-ups. (aug&ohr)
An old married couple lives on an isolated farm with their animals. Especially the old donkey is important for the husband. Loosing it is harder than he could imagine.
With a humoristic touch the film describes the importance of the presence of both human beings and animals and the simple connection with nature.
Without too many words in the film viewers, both old and young, can feel the deepest longing of love.
