Delta (2008)

Synopsis:
A young man (Félix Lajkó) returns to his village on the Danube delta after many years. Little is revealed about the time that has passed since his departure, but he is greeted by a stepfather he has never met before, as well as his mother and sister (Orsi Tóth).

A seemingly happy occasion, the man's return fractures the family. He decides to build a house out in the marshes, and his sister follows him -- at first to help out, and later to live with him. As their relationship becomes increasingly close and intimate, they elicit the disapproval of their family and eventually of the community too.
