Can one accept it? Or is it something that should not be tolerated, no matter the costs of breaking them up? This film, worked out very soberly which is an absolute plus , shows how people respond to something like this happening and draws a very fine line between trying to grow sympathy for the brother and sister - and a cooler distance towards the people of the town.
The ending is easy to predict - it is inevitable given the situation. It's a bitter pill though. And so we have it: a harsh message packed in the most sober wrapping. LazySod Jun 22, Details Edit.

Top Gap. What is the English language plot outline for Delta ? A young man Felix Lajko returns to his hometown by a river delta to settle down. In an early scene, the shy man waits at the gate to a family farm and asks for his mother. In Tender Son: The Frankenstein Project , in which a young man goes on an incomprehensible killing spree, killing three people, it is also the protagonist who seeks his mother out at the beginning of the film, and it is again the identity of the father which is unclear.
Though in the latter film, also by Mundruczo, the protagonist will end up killing his mother, in both films the relationship of mother and son and father and son is essentially beyond our understanding. To understand what Mundruczo wants to achieve with the ambiguous parental figures, one first needs to know where he is heading. In Delta , it is not a killing spree, but an incest. As he begins building a home for himself, she helps him, and decides to move in together with him.
Mother unsupportive and father non-existent , then, are the weak figures unable or unwilling to defy the environment, and catalysts for bringing drama into the story: Mundruczo, uninterested in ordinary narratives, seems to have found a convenient way of introducing conflict, as broken families make a meaningful connection to the past that would otherwise need to be constructed step by step.
As the small, new family spends more time together, they grow closer, ever more decidedly defying their environment by being together.
The stage, where Mundruczo often returns to, seems to allow for just the kind of raptures that make his films so difficult to believe. As is known, river deltas give rise to fruitful land, though in this case fertility mostly reflects in a disturbing sexual energy. Watch Trailer. Hungarian director Kornel Mundruczo Johanna helmed this bucolic incest-themed drama.
The picture reflects on man's need to re-bond with his natural habitat, and meditates on the unseemly consequences of fraternal love that drifts into unacceptable territory. Felix Lajko stars as the unnamed protagonist, who hearkens back to his family's agrarian home after years away.
Unkempt, unshaven and noticeably laconic, he makes contact with his sister Orsi Toth of Johanna , his mother Lili Monori and his mother's recent husband, a brutish sociopath Sandor Gaspar - who uniformly toil away in a decrepit local pub. In time, the lead character and his sister move into their deceased father's abandoned property, set about constructing a house and a pier, and consummate an extremely intimate relationship as they begin to experience a more deep-seated and harmonious relationship with the natural world around them.
When the others find out, however, they react in utter horror, shunning and ridiculing the couple and driving the story to a heartbreaking conclusion.
