What is a human? Only Human shows six faces, six phases in cleverly connected, blackly comic episodes as desperate characters meet unwittingly in a modern metropole in the eternal search for the means to survive, and find some kind of love. The jobless graduate becomes a grave digger, the grieving widow a nun, priests gamble and gangsters rule the courts. Only the lonely child may find some affection when hope springs eternal.

Director’s statement:
Only Human is a film that would be seen as a representative of a new era in film aesthetics. It conveys the spirit of post-industrial cinema without the need to be monumental or timeless. Only Human is us, the people today, here and now; this is our brand, our imprint in time.
