World War II, occupied Soviet Union. István Semetka is a simple Hungarian farmer who serves as a Corporal in a special unit scouting for partisan groups. On their way to a remote village, his company falls under enemy fire. As the commander is killed, Semetka has to overcome his fears and take command of the unit as he is dragged into a chaos that he cannot control.
“Director Dénes Nagy explores the human condition in a story set during World War II. Deliberately intense and slow-paced, the silences between the rare lines of dialogue are filled with impressionistic sound design. The violence always happens off-screen, but Nagy makes sure we hear everything.” - Cineuropa
