Description: Helena works at a Wagner hydraulic press. She is happy to be soon moving into a new apartment. Exhausted with excitement, she falls asleep on a mattress at the real estate agency and wakes up in the middle of the night. She begins to wander around in search of something to eat and observes the meaningless lives of her neighbors. Finally, the beggars give her a piece of bread, but she loses everything she had previously valued. Therein lies her freedom.~ Gönül Dönmez-Colin, All Movie Guide
