199714 min5.9 / 10

A quiet, introspective character study of an isolated elderly man whose unexpected encounter with a young spiritual recruiter becomes a moment of human connection and existential reflection.

Birger is old and retired from work, but he still goes back to work since he has nothing else to do. Back home he gets a rare visitor: a girl from Hare Krishna recruiting new members.
