I'll admit this movie is not for everyone. It can lack clarity at times. But the fact that it leaves you curious and wanting more is a sign it's done its job well. The best way I can describe this movie is a kind of character study loosely inspired by the movie 'Her'.
The movie follows Aloys Adorn, a distant and cold private investigator who's just lost his father after being ill for a few years. Vera, the woman who communicates with him through the phone, is intriguing, but in my opinion it is Aloys who truly carries the movie.
Aloys' story is a realistic and authentic look at loneliness and isolation. It is hinted throughout the movie that several factors probably contribute to his isolation, his awkwardness and disguised fear towards people, and always needing a barrier between him and the real world in the form of a camera or headphones. It seem he and his father were cast out from the rest of the family, as no one shows up to the funeral. And so Aloys probably had an isolated and lonely childhood in such a sparsely-populated town. The nature of his job passed down from his father probably worsened the problem.
All in all, the film is a very relatable and authentic look at the nature of loneliness, and there's also a lot of nice cinematography and metaphor with its minimalist style.
