Synopsis
In a stern railway house of the 20s lives an alone man who weighs 198 kilograms: Abacuc. Everything is clean and tidy in the house, but at the same time this order reminds us of a catastrophe, forthcoming or maybe already happened., Abacuc is a man who travelled a lot but, for some strange reason, he stopped. His life in the house passes quietly among home leisure and inconclusive tidy-up or cooking operations., The idea of the film is related to the monumental nature of ruins and becomes a monument itself, not a memorial but a monument to a survivor. The history of Abacuc is the history of his gaze and of the place he is living in.
