“A sharp, unforgiving satire about life, death, and the politics of learned hopelessness, among other weighty subjects.” —Manohla Dargis, New York Times
In this absurdist dark comedy set in Cluj-Napoca, the capital of Transylvania, Orsolya (Eszter Tompa) serves as a bailiff. One day, she must evict a homeless man from a cellar, with disastrous results. In the aftermath, Orsolya falls into an existential crisis and sets off on a journey around the city to try and reconcile her place in an increasingly maddening modern world.
