Synopsis

Marius is a divorced man in his late thirties. His five-year-old daughter lives with her mother, her mother's new husband and parents, much to Marius' frustration. Every little thing Marius (Șerban Pavlu) does is meant to serve one purpose only: to make the intended trip to the seaside with his daughter Sofia come true. Little by little, and despite his attempts to face ever mounting troubles, Marius loses battle after battle—with his parents, his former mother-in-law, his ex-wife Otilia (Mihaela Sîrbu), and her new partner.

Director Radu Jude (The Happiest Girl in the World, A Film for Friends) expands on the theme explored in his 2007 short Alexandra in this bitterly ironic and intelligently choreographed drama. Marius’ erratic movements beautifully illustrate his state of confusion. He turns from victim to aggressor, and the scene of this sudden transition displays both raw energy and directorial mastery. Everything happens in the name of the family, which is exactly the thing that seems to matter the least to everybody.

gollark: AutoRegLib is a quark dependency, Baubles is probably important for something, weirdinggadget is chunkloaders, Inventory Tweaks is kind of useful, I don't know what STG is, CTM-MC is connected texture mod.
gollark: My mum has a 2010-era laptop with a core 2 duo, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard disk. It must have been good at the time or something.
