- Synopsis:
- Slovak filmmaker Martin Šulik's striking debut feature focuses on a strange triangular relationship shaped by the unspoken undercurrents of political upheaval and social transformation that surround it. Šimon (Géza Benkõ), a solitary young student, is drawn into a liaison with an older couple, Maria (Maria Pakulnis) and Viktor (György Cserhalmi), whose partnership veers between passion and cruelty. Soon, caught up in their unsettling, claustrophobic and at times violent relationship, Šimon slowly learns the dark secrets of their past and comes to recognise the corrupt system that shaped all of their realities.
