Life is a flower

A man returns to an old railway station, the place where he agreed on meeting with his love on this day 40 years earlier.

Midnight Salon

"There is a hairdressing salon somewhere in Budapest where certain mental health issues are treated with black magic. At night a man enters the occult place to find a cure for the sorrow of his bleeding heart by the hand of The Master."

There Are Places...

The story is a paraphrase of a poem by Sándor Kányádi, taken on a Transylvanian farm. The film is focusing on a dialogue with a girl who recalls the memory of a murder from the last few days. An act of killing, not only committed on a regular basis, but also executed as an everyday mundane task, becoming all too normal for people in some places.
