After his award-winning debut film "Son of Saul" presented the hell on earth in the Nazi concentration camps from an unconventional perspective, László Nemesch moved forward with a deep-focus lens to stare at the collapse of the world during World War I. A mysterious orphan girl, Alice, comes to Budapest and tries to find a job at a famous hat shop founded by her late father but is turned away. She embarks on a journey to track down the ghost of her brother, the demon, and return to the past to uncover the hidden truth about her family. Continuing the style of the previous work, the long lens follows Alice as she travels through dark time and space, focusing on limited viewpoints and narrow perspectives. The oppressive feeling of hazy images like a nightmare comes over you; the dim light remaining in the family's old store slants to illuminate the fall of civilization.
