The death of his father prompts a quiet young man (Mihail – the one and only acting performance from famous violinist and composer Félix Lajkó) to return to his first home, an isolated village in the Danube delta and a family estranged from him since childhood. Cut off from the outside world, the village remains close-knit and retains traditional values anathema to big city life. Desperate to reconnect with his bucolic, agrarian roots, Mihail revels in his new life, reluctant to talk about his years in the city and the fortune he had made.

Introduced to his adult half-sister Fauna (Orsi Tóth – Fateless, Summer Of 1953) for the first time, the siblings quickly grow fond of one another and when Mihail's desire to bond with the natural world moves him to build a house on his deceased father's property, an enthralled Fauna follows her brother to make a new life in his idyllic home. Away from her parents the pair's fond relationship shifts to one beyond fraternal love, a relationship that flies in the face of the villagers' conventional morality. Faced with the wrath and jealousy of a violent and brutish stepfather Sandor Gaspar – Woyzeck, A Rozsa Vere) and the ridicule and disapproval of the rest of the town, the couple's housewarming party leads to terrible consequences.

Meditating on the unseemly consequences of sibling affection that drifts into unacceptable territory this beautiful tale examines the tug of war that exists between human nature and the rigidity of social norms.
