More About Film

A simple farmer drafted in the Hungarian army finds himself witness to a mass murder. His unit is searching for partisans in a vast muddy marshland within an occupied Soviet Union.  The film shows the story of the man as he is dragged into moral ambiguity and has to constantly decide whether he will put himself first, adapt to the situation or do the right thing. The film had its world premier at the 2021 edition of Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Silver Berlin Bear for Best Director.
