Description:

Nestled in a picturesque Hungarian valley, a close-knit community struggles to adapt as the fall of Communism leaves their livelihoods hanging by a thread. The lifeblood of this village was its factory, which provided employment and financial stability for generations. However, with the factory's unexpected closure, desperation sets in as residents, including a dedicated doctor and several couples, anxiously await the promised compensation from the government.Amidst the turmoil and uncertainty, an enigmatic figure named Irimias reemerges from the shadows. Once thought to be deceased, his true identity as a police informant remains hidden. Masterfully manipulating the vulnerable villagers, he proposes a bold solution - reforming their community as a self-sufficient commune under his leadership.As tensions rise and alliances shift, the villagers must navigate this precarious new world order while grappling with personal conflicts, loyalty dilemmas, and the harsh realities of life in post-Communist Hungary. This poignant tale delves into themes of human resilience, community spirit, and the complex interplay between individual ambition and collective survival.
