Golden Hut
Golden Hut - A Year with Emilke Karácsony in the Hidegség of Gyimes
Zsigmond Dezső / Hungary / 2002–2003 / 61 min / Hungarian
Thirteen-year-old Emilke lives in his mountain hut in a place called Hidegség in the Gyimes area of Transylvania. From early spring to the first snowfall he grazes cows, makes cheese from the milk, and only sees his parents when one or the other goes up to the mountain pasture and takes the cheese home. These meetings are rare and short. The only companions for the boy are the cows and the dogs, since he has to climb one or two hills just to get the closest neighbour. The hours, days, weeks, spring, summer and autumn melt into each other in this solitude...
