Plot
Three stories of Romanians and the dream of the West.
Sinekatalog’s take
Cristian Mungiu's early comedy braids three stories of Romanians dreaming of the West and colliding with each other in Bucharest. Dry, quick and sharp, it is a witty, loose forerunner of the Romanian New Wave.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
