The Nest is a tragicomic and intimate portrait of an ageing couple from a Slovak countryside. For years, Mária and Ján have been living in debt and repairing their house in hopes that their children will come back to live with them one day. But in every parent’s life, there comes a moment when they must face the fear of being alone.
