In a minor town the morose manager is primarily responsible for the bad atmosphere of a restaurant. But central for the plot are three persons: a male waiter who is never named (here called W), the female waiter Anna, and "the count", a self-invented nickname by a man cleaning plates. The count is skilled in making others do what he wants. Half a dozen of the personnel assist in a poorly planned and failed attempt to liberate a man whom the police move from one arrest to another. The event involves stealing a motorcycle and threatening policemen with a gun. Anna strongly tries to make contact with W. Finally it turns out that she need his help to break her sexual relation to the count, a relation that from her part is not motivated by positive feelings. W rejects her attempts. And then Anna has suddenly gone. She has got a pleasant job in another town. And then W's feelings awaken.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow, observational study of quiet desperation in a restaurant kitchen, where a manipulative figure's influence sours the atmosphere and a silent waiter only recognizes his feelings for Anna after she's gone. The film is less interested in the half-baked crime scheme than in the emotional paralysis of its characters.
