The protagonist of The Wooden Room is a director of documentaries, who lives with his wife - who is as stoic as he - in an isolated hut in the woods. The director is obsessed by filming marginal events in life. The closer he can get to these events with his camera, the more he becomes involved with them. In the end he falls victim to them. The film, with no dialogue and hardly any sound, is an experimental meditation on the complex, continually-changing relationship between a film-maker and his subject.

She is 40, he is 30. She is trying to adopt a child. He recently got out of prison and wants to start a new life. They accidentally meet on the day when he gets a job, and spend the whole night together, drink and eat at her expense. It requires understanding and intimacy. He wants peace.
