Everybody is dead except for out main character who tends to all the bodies in his village.
He is perfectly happy until a girl appears.
This is an interesting idea for a story and well filmed.
However the pace is painfully slow. The vast majority of this film is just of the characters doing their everyday thing, which is quite dull.
The characters are interesting and well acted but there is just nothing holding this film together.
Every now and then something interesting does happen, but then you have to endure a long, dry montage of washing-up and fishing.
Then right at the end the plot kicks up a gear and something does happen.
But what follows is one of the most ridiculous sub plots and endings I have ever seen.
I have a feeling that perhaps there might be some social comment but if it is it is too stupid to worth translating.
