A couple working at a slaughterhouse have the same dream every night involving a pair of deer. The man has a paralyzed arm and the woman is emotionally stunted. The origins of her personality are never explained. Over time, the two slowly share their dreams and attempt to have some sort of normal interaction. At its' core, it is a simple story of loneliness and of two lost souls looking for human connection. The actors are good, but I would have preferred more of a back history of the characters. Why did they become the way they were? The woman is especially strange. I was not thrilled with the ending, but overall, it is worth watching. A warning to animal lovers out there. The early scenes of animal slaughter are real and fairly gruesome. This will cause some meat eaters to turn vegetarian.
