Cluttered up and forgotten

There are many secret pits in the village of Kákásd in the Hungarian province. Some are four or five hundred years old. They were created in times of war, when the villagers had to hide their own belongings and, if necessary, themselves from the reach of power. In the summer of 1944, farmer János Garas opens the secret pit on his farm. The German Wehrmacht occupied Hungary in the spring. Julka, the woman he lives with, is threatened with deportation. The pit proves to be a hiding place. But the horrors of this summer have not been averted.
