The Storm

Set against the backdrop of a cooperative farm, The Storm delves into the tensions that arise when a storm threatens to ruin an impending wheat harvest. The film centers on Árendás, a middle-peasant who confronts fellow co-operative members about their negligence in maintaining the land. This conflict highlights the broader issues of accountability and the consequences of complacency in agricultural practices.

As the storm looms, divisions within the community become apparent. The film captures the dynamics of village life, where personal relationships are tested by external forces. The characters, portrayed by actors such as Ferenc Bessenyei and Tibor Molnár, embody the struggles of rural society during a time of uncertainty. With a runtime of 115 minutes, The Storm offers a compelling look at human resilience in the face of natural disasters.
