“This is muscular hard-art fare that…could propel Popescu into the upper ranks of his country’s auteurs.” (Variety)

It is every loving parent’s worst nightmare: the devastating disappearance of a beloved child and a desperate struggle to stay sane while trying to save their marriage. Masterfully staged by Constantin Popescu (Tales from the Golden Age), the long scene in which the little girl goes missing in a park full of people is a movie in itself and challenges us to pinpoint the exact moment when everything goes wrong. It makes for intense viewing that is made more visceral thanks to Bogdan Dumitrache’s raw performance as a father consumed with obsession and guilt.
