Description:
This war story, inspired by Zaharia Stancu's short story, follows survivors and refugees navigating a landscape of pain and uncertainty. A few key encounters unfold against a backdrop of a country diminished, haunted by the ruins of a lost empire. The film explores themes of evil, survival's cost, and the search for meaning in difficult times, presented with dark imagery and a ballad-like quality. It’s a harsh and profound experience, marked by silence and gesture, depicting a journey across the Balkans. Fragments of escape – a woman, a train, a bath, the death of a diplomat – offer glimpses into a new reality, revealing an ambiguous path toward home. The story centers on a thief and a young man amidst the ashes of a fragile territory.
