Project Detail

Not Waving

Synopsis

A happy group of picnickers bustle to the beach. One man changes into his swimming trunks, puts on a pair of flippers, does a clownish dance and dives into the grey-blue sea. The other picnickers notice their friend waving from the water, and wave back energetically. We hear the waves. The man waves from the deep water, his hand sailing from side to side. Gradually, he loses control in the water and disappears.

On a cold, windy day, the villagers attend the funeral of Laszlo Ferencs, the last and only Gypsy musician in the town. At his graveside, the wind blows so powerfully that no one can hear the priest's funeral oration. Far on the other side of town, people are going about their daily business. Through their windows creeps a strange music, the last reminder of the dead musician, which gradually lifts their spirits.
