CrimeDramaMystery

Using almost no dialogue, the film follows a number of residents (both human and animal) of a small rural community in Hungary – an old man with hiccups, a shepherdess and her sheep, an old woman who may or may not be up to no good, some folk-singers at a wedding, etc. While most of the film is a series of vignettes, there is a sinister and often barely perceptible subplot involving murder.

VIBE

A quiet, almost wordless immersion into rural life, where the mundane is interwoven with a creeping sense of unease. It's a film that invites patient observation, revealing subtle, unsettling truths beneath its pastoral surface.
