Béla Tarr eulogizes his fallen comrade in 44 minutes of pure cinematic grief.
A portrait film in which the actors often employed by Fehér (Ferenc Kállai, Péter Haumann and Ildikó Bánsági, respectively) testify with love and respect about the artist's creative method and his pursuit of perfection.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
György Fehér directed only two features before his death — 'Szürkület' (Twilight, 1990) and 'Szenvedély' (Passion, 1998).
This film is essentially Tarr's cinematic will — he saw Fehér as his true heir, and when that line died, something in Tarr's own work shifted permanently.
