Janos and Kata are thrown together during the Second World War and forced to pose as husband and wife to hide from the Nazis. The intensity and suffocating intimacy of their new relationship and the circumstances in which they find themselves, forces them to confront past prejudices and assumptions and challenge what they truly believe.

#235 I need a second viewing as some piano students or something were practicing right next to us.
But it's promising. The lighting was absolutely gorgeous. I'm a sucker for hard shadows. And the editing was certainly interesting.
