Synopsis:
The director plays a man who returns to his home village. We follow the daily life in the village from the hero’s perspective: relationships between the villagers, friendships and hostilities, existing rituals and traditions. Hero’s best friend is an alcoholic who beats up his own sister because she has disgraced her family by leaving her cruel husband. The villagers build barricades in order to prevent the influence of foreign world views.
