When Milan – clearly from a different world – turns up in a godforsaken village overlooked by the ruins of a church, he is probably as yet unaware what significance the immediate future holds for him.

It’s not only his encounter with redhead Hilda that quickens the young man’s senses.

He might also help the girl, who lives with her sombre father, to find someone really close.

This artistically studied, ethereally suggestive and almost mystical film unfolds in a singular place that seems part of another realm.

It represents a source of untold knowledge and, with it, infinite attractions, but the threat of danger is never far away.
