A suspenseful crime thriller in 1997. It tells the story of two young men breaking into a family and torturing and torturing the father, mother and children of that family, and finally murdering them cruelly. The famous European avant-garde film deeply explored the root causes of human evil and violence. Watching this movie is an extreme experience. The audience is God!

The two hijackers are not ordinary murders or vendettas. They just have their own "philosophy." They are atheists, but at the same time they pretend to be gods, set rules, and decide the life and death of others. Perhaps these two people did not realize that, as atheists, they actually became believers of their "theoretical" gods who united politics and religion. It seems that atheists believe in their God more than a family of three who are Christians.

A movie that makes people think about it for a long time. It is said that the movie was compiled based on a real case. Art lies in expressing truth. The more true, the closer to the truth from God.
