Goldberg variácók

GOLDBERG VARIATIONS
by Ferenc Grünwalsky
Country: Hungary
Year: 1991
Duration: 76'


It is quite natural when children bury their parents. It is rather unnatural when it happens the other way round. The protagonists' 13year-old son kills himself unexpectedly, apparently without reason. The film depicts the day after the funeral. Is it an end or a new beginning? The parents both feel more and more children give up their lives the same way. They leave this world as though something was calling them from another world.
