Plot
Storyline
Elizabeth Alione is sinking into a deep melancholy when she drags down the corridors, the park and the dining room of a hotel.
In an isolated hotel surrounded by forest, four characters, Max Thor, his wife Alissa, Elisabeth Alione, and Stein, spend time together. Stein and Elisabeth observe the fragile and anxious Alissa and gradually try to disrupt the conventional relationship between her and her husband. Through sparse dialogue, long silences, and psychological tension, the group's interactions slowly challenge social norms and emotional barriers, suggesting the idea of "destroying" established structures of love, marriage, and identity in order to create new forms of freedom and connection.
