Wastelands are forms of organised, planned, collective housing, typical of Hungary, Slavonia and Baranja, built in the 1700s and 1800s on vast plains of Slavonia owned by wealthy landowners. Wastelands have always been inhabited by landless people, immigrants, restless spirits and vagrants, but there were those who remained in the wastelands for generations. This film was made by hand camera and consists entirely of personal scenes. The main ‘character’ in the film is light. The light reveals characters and objects, does not pay particular attention to frame composition and use of artificial light. At the same time, filming the aberration, sound diffusion (propagation) was also filmed. And, most importantly, silence, because silence on the wasteland, on that ‘island’ without a visible borderline between heaven and earth, in that prison without boundaries, is louder than any urban noise.
