The story of the Fülöp brothers begins in 1999, when Levante, barely ten years old, is sent into military service. His parents are alcoholics. His seven siblings have already been placed in a children’s home. Life has dealt him the same harsh, inescapable fate as his brother Csaba. They become servants, working in the fields and on farms. They attend school only briefly – just enough to learn a bit of reading and writing. Levante speaks of his dreams: going to school, getting good grades, maybe saving up to buy a horse. As an adult, he watches his siblings lead much happier lives. But he and Csaba fall into alcoholism, trapped in the same cycle, unable to fight this addiction. Now a shepherd in the mountain pastures, Levante reflects on everything that could have been – but never was. This slow-paced documentary follows his journey into adulthood. Set in Transylvania, in Romania’s Szeklerland region – home to the Hungarian minority.
