Budapest Silo

Shorts Competition block IV

József has been working at the largest still-operational grain mill in Budapest for over 30 years. During the day, he wanders through the thick coat of dust of the mill, then he descends into the 25-meters-deep silos, undertaking the seemingly hopeless task of cleaning them. József has been suffering from the effects of long-term grain dust on his lungs, yet, he seems unable to escape the mill. An unspoken bond seems to tie them together, during his work he is hanging from his harness, utterly alone, he performs dazzling dance-like movements in the depths of the silo.
