Overview
After receiving a concerning call from home, Matthias abandons his job at an abattoir in Germany to return to his family in a remote Transylvanian town. It is a place where customs and tradition bind the community together, but historic resentments start to bubble to the surface when the local factory hires some new immigrant workers from Sri Lanka. Beautifully crafted with his signature naturalistic style, Cristian Mungiu's harrowing exploration of xenophobia, intolerance and identity is an intricate, enthralling and unpredictable piece.
