Furcsa emberek: Elbeszélések

Hofmann, a Romanian émigré, arrives back in his native village after fifteen years abroad, bringing his two young daughters and a modest sum earned from a construction contract. He spends his weekdays chasing new employment while planning a Sunday visit to his aging mother, whose memory and health are slowly fading. The narrative paints a tender portrait of a son torn between professional pressures and an enduring sense of duty toward the parent who once raised him.

The warm yet formal welcome of his sister‑in‑law, who runs the local post office, sets the scene for a brief reunion in a spacious family house with a garden that still holds echoes of past celebrations. As Hofmann watches his daughters dress for the journey, the story captures the quiet anticipation of reconnecting with a generation that feels both distant and intimate. Through gentle observations, the tale explores how love, obligation, and the passage of time shape everyday lives in a small Romanian community.
