A story of a young woman, Juliši, who marries the son of the richest landowner in the village, but does not resist her father-in-law’s violent seduction and inadvertently finds herself in the middle of a rough love triangle. The ballad of Piargy is a symbol of modern Sodom and Gomorrah, a mirror of the distorted morals of society. At the same time, it is a naturalistic metaphor for the subordinate position of women in a patriarchal society. (MFF Cinematik Piešťany)

English A very original film endeavor - thematic, processing, black and white format. It's a shame about the ending, which probably managed to confuse many viewers and unnecessarily disturbed a relatively calm flowing film with a multitude of images belonging to different timelines. When I read that the main role was taken on by Judit Pecháček, I may be a bit behind in the times, as Judit Bárdos is no longer called Bárdos. This more demanding film may go unnoticed by many in the flood of Czech films on Netflix. ()
