| Directed by György Pálfi, Hungary 2003 78 mins. Hungarian and Czech dialogue with English sub-titles |
| Summary: |
| There is something dark and mysterious occurring in a small Hungarian village, but exactly what that is remains a secret, barely perceptible among the rhythms of everyday life. A youth drives the milk cart and spies a young woman sunbathing. An old woman plows her field, and a farmer's sow is fertilized. But there is also a strange ritual that involves the villagers and the mailman, who presents items to every new widow when her husband dies - something that happens with regular frequency. |
