After 14 years of absence, Hein returns to his native village on a remote island, but the community does not recognize him. The villagers, suspecting him of fraud, demand a trial to establish his true identity. Formally referring to Lars von Trier's “Dogville,” a film imbued with disturbing mood and visual severity that raises questions about identity, memory and the mechanisms of community action.

Introduction before the film by Mateusz Demski

After a 14-year absence, Hein returns to his hometown on a remote island, but the community does not recognize him. Suspecting him of fraud, villagers demand a trial to determine his true identity. Formally reminiscent of Lars von Trier's Dogville*, this film is steeped in an unsettling atmosphere and visual austerity, raising questions about identity, memory, and the workings of a community.
