Who'll love it
Right up the alley of anyone who loves a strong drama. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 24 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Zeka's only son is killed in the war. All that is left to him is a house full of women, his wife, daughters and grand daughter, but no son to continue his legacy. Consumed with great pain he escapes into amnesia and begins to hope that his son is alive and will soon come home. One day a stranger comes in the village carrying coffins from across the border. Curious about the bodies Zeka invites him to sleep over. The night falls down along with the demons that will push Zeka into madness and make him a killer. Alienated from all the world he continues to wait for his dead son while his young daughter waits for him to be her father again.
