The Shadow of the Sand

The base concept of the series:
The series consists of seasons built up of a pilot and five 45 minute episodes. Each season tells a separate story, all of which are connected by time and location. They take place in an area of the Hungarian plain which ranks on international charts in suicides per capita. This is Homokhátság, or the Sandy Plain. The time is the early 20th century, when this behaviour was the most common. The second season would also cover a similar mystery of murders, the story of the Angel Makers of Nagyrév. The rest of the seasons would similarly focus on the very unusual local interpretation of themes such as suicide, murder, and death. In the words of a resident sociologist “the people who live here talk about suicide like one talks about a haircut.”
