Bobi has no premonition of where his father might have concealed the coveted loot. The funeral brings back memories and also goes a long way to revealing the brutal nature of the protagonists' father-son relationships. Progressively the portrait of a sensitive young individual forced to grow up in heartless surroundings emerges. Will his fresh start be shaped by forgiveness or revenge? A calmly-narrated feature film début that furthermore, almost casually, uses a series of desolate locations and landscapes to speak of the decline of the EU's poorest member state. JG
