Shortly after the fall of communism, in a remote rural part of Hungary battered by wind and rain, the last members of a failed farming cooperative get by in an almost abandoned village, waiting for something to give them back a future. One day word reaches them that Irimiás, a cunning, charismatic man who had been missing for years and was thought to be dead, has been seen on the road.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
