Synopsis:
Karoly Makk's Cannes award-winning gem is a meditation on time, memory, love and loss. Two women - an elderly, bedridden mother and a loyal wife - await the return of an imprisoned man. Beautifully played by two giants of Hungarian cinema, Lili Darvas and Mari Torocsik, the film is a subtle yet powerful exploration of how love sustains life, even in times of fear and uncertainty. Perfectly realised, with luminous cinematography and innovative editing, Makk's tender masterpiece is a landmark of international cinema.
