Plot
While on his way for a business meeting, Tudor is having an unexpected 30 minutes break, because of the impossible traffic. He’s got enough time to have a coffee, to talk a little about his beloved little girl and to take a picture.
Sinekatalog’s take
A businessman stuck in a traffic jam uses his unexpected pause to talk about his daughter and take a photograph. The short is small, gently human and quietly observant. A pleasing example of Romanian minimalism in miniature.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
