An ice-cream seller lusts after the female employees in his shop.

VIBE

A peculiar, slow-burn character study, it feels unsettlingly absurd and darkly comedic. The film delves into human obsession and the uncomfortable facets of desire with a melancholic, satirical gaze. It's an observational European arthouse experience that lingers.
