This story of conscience takes place in a rural Hungarian town just after the Holocaust. One day, two Orthodox Jews disembark from the train with their suitcases, while the news of their arrival is quickly spread around the town. It is 1945, and the war has just ended; the town residents are extremely anxious about the displacement of their Jewish neighbors and what will happen to their seized land. At the same time, the whole town is preparing for a wedding that day. With an impressive visuality that combines cinematographic mastery with a black and white palette, the film addresses a delicate subject with a fresh perspective and intelligence.
