Directed by one of the Hungarian cinema's celebrated young minimalists, this doom-laden rural tragedy is set on the remote, thinly inhabited Danube delta where a tight-lipped young man returns with some money in hand to his unwelcoming family. His young sister moves in with him when he decides to build a wooden house in a marshy backwater, and vicious resentment stirs among the natives. Menace escalates to rape and then murder. It's like a solemn, slow-motion version of Straw Dogs with the wrong side winning.
