SYNOPSIS
An ominous documentary viewing a global theme from the perspective of a small Hungarian community. A ‘landguard’ and his son go on patrol in the border area near Serbia, where an invisible danger looms. Figures sneak across the fields, unknown cars are spotted, dogs in yards behave strangely, and children are scared when it gets dark.
