In 1965, the funeral of a farmer expropriated and evicted from his native village in 1951 becomes a public expression of the disapproval of the violent practices of the Communist regime. This dark ballad that ended up “in the safe” shows the perpetrators of injustice refusing to admit the guilt for ruining the lives of the others. (Summer Film School)
