After the day before (Másnap)

A stranger on a bicycle is roaming the empty countryside. He is trying to find a solitary house - his family inheritance. Immediately upon his arrival he witnesses Romek cursing his fifteen-year-old daughter for meeting a young man, Simon. Then the newcomer goes from one lonely farm to another to ask the way, but the locals are suspicious of every stranger who enters their world and refuse to help him. The man is twice knocked unconscious after falling from his bike and does not remember what happened to him. He learns that someone brutally murdered Romek’s daughter. Past events flow together with the present; anyone could be the murderer ... The film, told in a meditatively slow rhythm, breaks down all ideas about time, about the sequence of situations and the space in which everything is played out. By means of simple indications, details and splendidly chosen settings, a mysterious, even eerie atmosphere is created, reminiscent of a waking dream.
