Spoilers ahead
** To avoid the laws against Jews adopting Christians, the adoption papers are backdated to 1938, and the father gifts two calves to the boy, hoping a divine sign will confirm the act. Lackó proves stubborn and unruly, pushing against the boundaries of the orphanage, and Ferenc Zenthe is quick to read this defiance as a sign that a spark from one of the calves has somehow passed to the child, marking him as a chosen one who might carry the family’s faith into the future. The decision to raise Lackó among their own people invites murmurs of disapproval from the village’s Jewish community, and the burden of legitimacy weighs heavily on them, especially under the gaze of the local religious leadership.
