Een jonge man wordt verliefd op de mooie vrouw van zijn oudere beschermheer. De vrouw en de jonge man beramen een moord, nadien verloopt echter alles net even anders dan gedacht.

Recensie (1)
It is going to sound corny, but every long and masterfully composed shot in this film has the weight of Old Testament rigor. The austere and strict testimony of guilt, punishment and a law above the law stands out for its fantastic camera, the unforgettable choice of central characters, fascinating work with sound (the second plan infiltrates the atmosphere of the first as a phantom) and, above all, the brilliant directing of all this. Although the film ends with a stern quote from Revelations, there is still a certain significant dynamic herein that arises between the prophecy of a laconic prosecutor and the soothing of a slickly pandering priest. Fehér responds to the aporia of forgiveness/unforgivable sin with a heavily ceremonial and fascinating cinematic language, which is also used, among others, by Béla Tarr. Contemplative ecstasy which apparently blooms exclusively in Pannonia.
