Synopsis

Spoiler shield

War criminal Baradla Géza returns after 25 years, alongside his ex-accomplice, Obrád Simon, to the village where he burned occupied homes and executed partisans. The ex squad-leader is chased to this place by his 'heroic deed' and the memory of his love. Like a maniac, he seeks to forgive the villagers for having killed six of his soldiers.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
