Overview

A few days before Christmas, having quit his job in Germany, Matthias returns to his Transylvanian village. He wishes to involve himself more in the education of his son, Rudi, left for too long in the care of his mother, Ana, and to rid him of the unresolved fears that have gripped him. He’s also eager to see his ex-lover Csilla and preoccupied about his old father, Otto. When a few new workers are hired at the small factory that Csilla manages, the peace of the community is disturbed, underlying fears grip the adults, and frustrations, conflicts and passions erupt through the thin sliver of apparent understanding and calm.

Blenyesi). The young lad has clearly suffered from some sort of trauma and so doesn't ever speak. "Matthias" needs to find a job, but the local employer - a bakery run by "Csilla" (Judith Slate) - is fully staffed, though largely by migrant workers including a family from Nepal.
