NEW YORK PREMIERE

Serving as a translator and general problem solver, or “fixer,” a Romanian reporter working at a French news network seizes a career-making opportunity when a sex scandal breaks and two underage Romanian prostitutes are repatriated from France. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to interview one of them—up to the point where he must ask himself if, as a journalist, he can live with the consequences, and if, as a father, he’s setting a good example for his son. Exploring rich moral ground, Adrian Sitaru (whose controversial Illegitimate played last year) seamlessly connects themes of fatherhood and journalism ethics. The Fixer represents Romania in the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar race.
