Couple In A Hole

Karen and John live in a hole in the forest, lost in the Pyrenees. They carefully avoid contact with the neighboring village, but when Karen falls seriously ill and needs medication, John crosses the path of Andrew, a local farmer. The two men become friends which gradually gives back to John a taste of civilization, to the dismay of Karen, determined to never leave the forest and their painful secret... The Flemish director biblically films his two protagonists as if they were the Adam and Eve of modern times where the return to the primal and wild life is a way of fleeing rather than returning to the fundamental values of life. The experience is intense and one will come out of it full of questions.
