Raw, compelling and emotionally devastating, Béla Tarr's final film is a daringly original and vivid work of artistically precise filmmaking that has left audiences the world over gasping for breath.

Taking its cue from Nietzsche's famous encounter with a mistreated horse on Via Carlo Alberto, it depicts the aftermath of this seemingly innocuous but destructively profound confrontation.

Following a man and his daughter in their daily routine, a bizarre series of disturbing events slowly begin to strip life of its very essence resulting in a terrifying, all-consuming finale.
