Plot

Olga is a complex young woman desperate to break free from her unfeeling family and social conventions. With her Louise Brooks-like tomboyish looks she drags herself, chain-smoking, from one job to another until she appears to find her niche as a truck driver.

Sinekatalog’s take

A withdrawn young woman, tomboyish and chain-smoking, drifts through jobs and rejection toward a terrible act. The black-and-white film is cold, precise and unflinching. A disturbing, quietly powerful character study for viewers who can handle bleak material.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
