Synopsis

András Beke, a tractor driver, enlists as a conscript, but he does not want to accept the army's rules and regulations, he wants to show that he is an individual here too. During the marching drill, he goes on an exploratory expedition, drinks from the forbidden water and commits other offences. But the educational punishments make him realise that in the army, instead of being a hero, you have to learn, work hard, stand up for yourself and show solidarity. His re-education is aided by his commanders and peers, but love also plays an important role...

Mood and atmosphere

Immerse yourself in a poignant exploration of individuality and camaraderie set against the backdrop of military life. This film evokes feelings of nostalgia and rebellion, as it captures the internal struggles of a young man yearning for freedom amidst the rigid confines of duty. With a warm color palette and a beautifully haunting soundtrack, the atmosphere oscillates between moments of isolation and intimate connections, reminiscent of coming-of-age tales. Ideal for those cozy rainy evenings, it invites reflection on identity, friendship, and the bittersweet nature of love and sacrifice, all wrapped in a slow-paced narrative that lingers in the heart long after the credits roll.
