A Hungarian village in August 1945. The festive ambiance of the clerk’s daughter’s wedding is tainted when two Orthodox Jews arrive carrying a mysterious trunk. Authentic period reconstruction, reserved dialogues, resonating soundtrack, and poetic black-and-white cinematography combine to effectively build tension, rendering a touching and powerful film.
