Plot

Two Romanian men and the problem of family honour.

Sinekatalog’s take

Lucian Pintilie's late drama brings together two Romanian men, a retired colonel and his son-in-law, in a bitter confrontation over honour and family. Victor Rebengiuc and Mircea Diaconu are sharp in a dark, funny and caustic film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
