Description of the content
Attila, the bell-ringer of a small village of Cserehát mountains sets forth to rebuild a tiny wooden chapel in the heart of the woods, on the spot of an earlier Virgin Mary apparition, which once had been a debated issue, but has been long forgotten since. The repressed local memory of the miracle gradually revives… The parson nods approval to the initiation, a crazed and gummed concrete-moulding Mary-statue is getting fixed up for the chapel and the local old women are willing to clamber up on the trailer of a tractor in order to take part in the consecration of the chapel in the woods.
