Since childhood, Sára has heard whispers that the house she grew up in has a dark history. When she realises that her father won't talk anymore, she decides to delve into the past to uncover these buried stories. Gradually, her investigation becomes an intimate and political reflection on collective memory that resonates far beyond Hungary’s borders.
