A heartwarming comedy about three university students who come of age around a pot dish in a flat. The same room, a camera fixed there throughout, and a cast of only three people, and only men. The idea shines through in its ultimate simplicity and low-budget setting. The idea itself is simple, but the calculated direction and the precise atmosphere created by the actors, which response to it, make the viewer feel even more intelligent.
