Film description

On a sweltering August day in 1945, while villagers prepare for the wedding of the town clerk’s son, two Orthodox Jews arrive at the train station with mysterious boxes. The villagers fear the men may be survivors from the concentration camps who will demand their unjustly acquired property back... Touching upon a sensitive and not sufficiently discussed moment of European history, the director ventures to open Pandora’s box and capture in this black-and-white portrait of a waste land all the gray areas trespassed by humans in times of peace.
