synopsis

A static camera watches people gather reeds from a frozen lake. The men live in the silence of nature, falling asleep gathered around a single stove. They come here to feed their families, working from dawn to dusk, and yet they fall into debt. The steam that comes from their mouths can barely hide the reality of words with no hope for a better life.
