By the Grace of God

On the outskirts of Budapest, the ageing recluse and saturnine manager of a small abattoir, Endre, is used to hiding his disabled left arm along with his emotions behind a busy schedule. Then, unexpectedly, a shy and graceful newcomer in the office catches Endre's eye: Mária, the plant's cryptic and glacially beautiful quality-control inspector. Now, against the backdrop of the cold slaughterhouse and a small theft within the company's walls, an eerie and almost spiritual bond will start to develop between the tender outcasts, as, more and more, their lives become inextricably intertwined. However, are the two dreamers, Endre and Mária, ready to embrace the catharsis of love on both body and soul? —Nick Riganas

Trivia
Alexandra Borbély and Ervin Nagy are a couple in real life.

Goofs
During Endre's (Géza Morcsány) interview with the psychologist he states he dreamt he was a deer and not alone, at around the thirty four minute mark the psychologist asks him, "Was it another Stag or Doe?" She should have asked if it was another Stag or Hind? Hind being the correct mate for a Stag whilst Doe is the mate for a Buck.

Quotes
Endre: By the way, what did we dream last night? Somehow I can't remember.
Mária: I think I didn't dream anything.

Crazy credits
"During the shooting of our film animals were harmed, but none of them for the sake of this film. We just documented the daily routine of a slaughterhouse."

This is what cinema was invented for

I always think A good movie is one that can touch your heart and move your feelings ,The good story does not necessarily make a good film , this is Unusual romance from Unusual Director Ildikó Enyedi ,It won the Golden Bear for best film but also deserve an Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film . the magical realism Presented in this film tell us that Love Is beautiful dream & Life deserves to live To experience love . I think movies like On "Body and Soul" Explain The big difference between European cinema and Hollywood , in Europe Cinema is an art of soul and heart & that is what cinema was invented for thanks Mária and Endre ,Alexandra Borbély&Géza Morcsányi for For the beauty that you have done thanks Máté Herbai for great Cinematography thanks Adam Balazs for the beautfuil music thanks for all cast &crew
