This movie, in a nutshell, is a depiction of typical yet pathological ignorance and unsophistication of village people, unique to some welfare state.
The kids were just being kids, but the adults were no more than confused adolescents: the lack of rich verbal communication, abundant body language, asking one's hunger status and offering food to initially reach out, having no idea of the difference between some round-table discussion and arguing as in a bar fight that ought to be won, hunting and chanting drunk as the primary socialization for men, 42 year-old Lucas' phone conversation with Nadja and clumsiness having sex at home like some 16 year old, him being fixated on his routine life instead of considering leaving the village to start anew because his brain simply can't process any change... it was all there, plain and naked, like watching some wild life documentary of 2-leggeds instead of 4. Very well done.
We all need more of these insiders' works from every country out there, if we want to make a healthy transition to not just a global economy but global society as well.
