A group of Hungarian workers takes care of the maintenance of electrical towers on an endless plain. Living and working, with his wife and daughter, with this itinerant band, Fleming Marcus is about to join forces with a Hungarian technician and become self-employed. But then comes an accident with serious implications.
"Lost Persons Area" is a remarkable directorial debut, which already saw success in Cannes. Director Caroline Strubbe brings the wide landscape back into European independent film, a feeling for the atmosphere of a place, and the agoraphobic fear of being lost. Full of speechless poetry and scant beauty, this is an affecting story of longing and loss.
