Description of the content To kill, to murder: that’s the meaning in Romanian of Omor, a village with a Hungarian name, situated at 40 km south of Timisoara. For this very reason, the name had to be changed years ago. Since then, it has been called Roviniţa Mare in Romanian. Yet, the Hungarian name remains: Omor. Our documentary, as a lyrical „string of lives”, is an insight into the intertwined destinies of Hungarian widows living there.
