DARK SKIES ALL AROUND

The story is based on a true story, set in Hungary in the early 1940s in a small village where people lived from farming. It depicts the everyday life and beliefs of a so-called Sárközi territorial Reformed community. The good quality land near the Danube made it possible for farming families to become rich. To keep the wealth together, women tried to have only one child and to unite the land holdings with the most advantageous marriages. Landowners worked the land with their sharecroppers. 

But what happens when the 19-year-old, only-son of a rich landowning family falls in love with a poor girl and gets her pregnant? What does the family, the community, say? What was the accepted rule in such cases? What is stronger, the rules of love or the rules of the community? Is there a compromise solution? What impact does community morality have on their lives? How does the community react when the woman's psychological state is weakened by the tragic events that have happened to her? 

Our film is perhaps one of the first long music historical dramas among AI generated films with its 25 mins length. We added an extended outro to explain the historical background and the special process of filmmaking using 30 different AI tools and using real photos and videos of the place and costumes.
