Egyszerű történet vessző száz oldal – a Márk-változat

A deported family lives in the middle of nowhere, all of them in a single room. Of two brothers, one is interested in words and the other in God, which does not seem an irreconcilable conflict. The older boy builds an invisible world out of sentences, while his deaf and mute younger brother, whose words cannot be heard, is the one who tells their story. So which of them is the Judas? The mother tries to please no one and the father drinks. The grandmother from Eger can only be met in secret, while the other grandmother, who lives with them, talks constantly with the Lord and seeks goodness itself. Each of them is lonely, God too: in heaven, on the cross, in curses, in prayers and in his own story.
