In a rain-rotted collective farm village, news that a charismatic dead man is walking back sets every scheming inhabitant dancing to his tune; the devil's tango runs six steps forward, six back.

One morning near the end of October, not long before the first drops of the mercilessly long autumn rains began to fall.
Satantango, László Krasznahorkai
