What happens in Hukkle from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

The narrative unfolds in a seemingly ordinary village in Hungary, starting with an old man who suffers from persistent hiccups, casually sitting near a can of milk outside his home. As the story progresses, the viewers are treated to a tapestry of daily life. We catch sight of a young man maneuvering his horse and cart, laden with milk cans, yet his attention drifts toward a girl basking in the sun instead of attending to the cans. The backdrop is punctuated with other vivid scenes: a threshing machine at work, a cat that succumbs to poison, and an old lady who unknowingly kills a mole while ploughing, offering it to her dog afterward.
