Hovedinnhold

The tall and silent sixty-year-old Jacobo Köller is owner of an ageing sock factory. Day in, day out, he sets off to work early, where his faithful assistant Martha arrives with him at the same time. They greet each other with few words and get on with their everyday activities. This imperturbable regularity comes to an end when Jacobo's younger brother, Herman, comes over from Brazil. The two brothers have not had much contact for years, but now Herman feels forced to get involved with placing a gravestone for their mother. Jacobo gets so nervous at the prospect of facing his socially successful brother that he asks Martha to act as his wife. When Herman invites them for a short holiday, a tragicomic triangular relationship ensues.

Juan Pablo Rebella /Pablo Stoll, Uruguay, 2005
