Followed by a Q&A with film critic Mihai Fulger

Romanian director Bogdan Mirică’s second feature centers on a troubled character torn between his secret criminal affairs and his dysfunctional romantic relationship.
It follows Bogdan, who takes part in an armed robbery with three men he barely knows. While fleeing the crime scene, he accidentally runs over a witness who ultimately dies. This will disrupt the very core of his moral being.
