Touching on a vast array of themes from Oedipal complexes to police corruption, the film follows a man (Derzsi) who returns home after a long spell in prison. His son (Ravasz) won’t forgive him for getting sent to jail and abandoning his family and sees him as the cause of his mother’s death. Few words are exchanged but the animosity between the pair is plain. Things get worse when the father gets together with his late wife’s sister Agi (Nagy) and then forces his son to work on a piece of land which he intends to turn into a vineyard. The son’s physical attraction to his aunt only complicates matters. —screendaily.com
