- In a godforsaken landscape, filmed in transcendental black and white, as if fallen out of time, young Ada lives alone with her ill mother. Her rather lonely existence is characterized by hard work and poverty and as her mother's condition worsens there doesn't seem to be a way out anymore. Ecce homo is a parable about being human, rich in religious symbolism, which dreamily and at the same time sombrely poses existential questions without volunteering answers.—Dimitar Kutmanov
- Young Ada and her ill mother live in solitude and destitution somewhere in a godforsaken land. Their quiet life slowly flows like a wordless ritual and hides under the seemingly still surface the cold torrents of misery and apprehension. The mother's health fades and what follows is a spiritual crisis which unleashes the whirling forces of fear and despair. As the light within is about to perish the fabric of reality melts into an oneiric realm of apparitions. We witness a cathartic descent into the abyss, liberation from fear, a mystical sacrament and eventually- death...or perhaps a miracle.
