A couple looking for a new home gets stuck in a weird suburban neighborhood with identical houses.
'Vivarium' is a mysterious, almost absurdist film with philosophical intentions. The central pieces of the story are the two young people and a child they have to raise as they think best. At some point, the reasons and explanations for anything occuring become redundant and completely irrelevant, the strongest impression left on the viewer being from the memory of the effect of the events on the child and the two young people especially. It all comes down to the human ability to be parents and the quality of the rewards and gratitude for the effort parents make. The overall effect of the film cannot be called anything else but depressive or maybe, in a few cases, a naive one, which generates some form of pride.
