A halál után
Summary
A baroque danse macabre unfurls in fin-de-siècle Budapest where marble-pale Márta, heiress to a crumbling mercantile empire, is shackled by sacramental parchment to a cadaverous aristocrat whose gambling debts devour her dowry like moths in cashmere. André, the raven-haired anatomist who sketches her clavicles by candlelight, vanishes into the Danube’s ink one November dusk, leaving behind only a monogrammed scalpel and the ghost of a caress. Two winters later a scarred stranger with André’s gait and half-remembered dimples glides through the gaslit fog of the Vigadó ballroom, whispering necromantic love vows while her brother counts coins in the shadows, deaf to the heart’s arrhythmic Morse. Is resurrection a lover’s miracle or a usurer’s masquerade? The film answers by slicing open every mask—marriage, money, mourning—until identity itself bleeds out like crimson silk on snow.
Synopsis
Márta and André love each other, but she is trapped in an arranged marriage while her money-hungry brother wastes her fortune. One day, André disappears under mysterious circumstances. Is it really him who visits Márta two years later?
