40 ezetz

In a bizarre and surreal Hungarian village, a young man named Jancsi returns home after his father's death to discover that the men in his family have a peculiar tradition: consuming their deceased relatives. Jancsi struggles with this macabre legacy, as well as a burgeoning romance with a local woman, all while the strange customs of his community begin to unravel.

While its unique and often disturbing premise polarized audiences and critics, many praised its audacious originality, striking visuals, and unflinching look at human nature.
