Country: Romania, Poland, France
Year: 2016
Duration: 88'
An ordinary family dinner becomes a fuse sparking a family crisis when four brothers discover something they hadn’t known about their father’s past. We are in contemporary Bucharest but the ghost of the Ceaușescu dictatorship, which fell not so long ago, leaves traces in every family and brings to light the irreconcilable differences separating the generation which grew up during the regime from the one which grew up in a free country.

Declaration
film director
“I was to make a different kind of film, in a different cinema style besides my previous work. To be as little intrusive as possible as an author, both in the script and the directing. A film intended as half fiction, half documentary. Also, towards the end, forced by faith and the National Centre for Cinematography, to be able to make this film without a proper budget, nearly without any money, the same way it happened with my first feature, Hooked.”
