1945

On a summer day in 1945, an Orthodox man and his grown son return to a village in Hungary while the villagers prepare a wedding. The townspeople – suspicious, remorseful, fearful, and cunning – expect the worst and behave accordingly. The townspeople fear the men may be heirs of the village’s deported Jews and expects them to demand their illegally acquired property back.
A complex picture of a society trying to come to terms with the recent horrors they’ve experienced, perpetrated, or just tolerated for personal gain. A superb ensemble cast, lustrous black and white cinematography, and detailed art direction of an eloquent drama that reiterates Thomas Wolfe’s famed sentiment: you can’t go home again.
