60-year-old Cornelia leads a life of privilege, social power and material wealth, but life is not perfect. More than anything in the world, she longs for her adult son Barbu to reciprocate her affections. But the pair barely speak, something the domineering Cornelia blames on Barbu’s live-in girlfriend. The balance of power irrevocably shifts one evening when Barbu is involved in a tragic car accident and runs down a child on a highway. Cornelia is thrust back into his life and, seeing her chance to regain control, she commences a frighteningly well-orchestrated campaign to save her son from prison. (Madman Entertainment)

The Romanians once again proved they can manage a pretty decent family drama. It makes a different impression than the ones from the Scandinavians, but it still keeps a very solid realistic foundation. In this case, the foundation is a very rough premise that realistically deals with thinking of a person who causes misery but especially with their mother, around whom the whole story revolves and who is the most interesting part of the movie. The creators do not suggest anything and immediately kickstart the psychology of the character in a way I haven’t seen in a movie for a very long time.

Overall, quite a sucker-punch, mainly thanks to the excellent performances. A harrowing Romanian drama. I didn’t feel like singing after watching it. (KVIFF 48)
