안젤라는 다국적 기업이 제작하는 산업 안전 홍보 영상에 출연할 인물을 물색하느라 부쿠레슈티 시내를 밤낮 누빈다. 과로에 시달린 안젤라가 현실의 벽에 부딪힐 때마다 틱톡에 등장하는 ‘부캐’ 보비타는 위악적인 조롱과 혐오 발언을 퍼부으며 스트레스 해소 창구가 되어준다. 전작 〈배드 럭 뱅잉〉(2021)을 통해 증명한 바와 같이, 풍자의 대가 라두 주데는 어지러운 과잉의 이미지와 필터링 없이 쏟아지는 대사의 향연을 통해 우리 사회의 부조리를 냉철하게 통찰하고 강력하게 비판한다. 우여곡절 끝에 적임자가 캐스팅되고 홍보 영상 촬영이 본격적으로 시작되는 후반부, 휠체어에 앉은 노동자의 목소리가 클라이언트의 다양한 요구에 따라 점점 힘을 잃어가고 진실은 마침내 몇 줄의 자막 속으로 사라지는 과정을 목도한다. 이처럼 지구의 종말은 갑자기 찾아오는 재앙이 아니라 우리 안에 자리잡아 자전할 동력을 서서히 앗아가는 것임을, 그리고 이미 진행 중임을 깨닫게 된다.

Romanian-born Radu Patru is a trainee at a prestigious French news network. Serving as a translator and general problem solver, or "fixer," for the headlining journalists during his trial period, he's looking to make his big break. He sees his opportunity when two underage Romanian prostitutes are repatriated from France, creating an international scandal. Taking advantage of his language skills and local connections, Radu is prepared to do whatever it takes to interview one of the young girls. But as he ventures into tricky moral ground, he must stop to ask himself if, as an aspiring journalist, he can live with the consequences of his actions, and if, as a father, he's setting a good example for his son.

이념적으로 검열되고 문화적으로 고립된 1980년대의 공산주의 국가, 루마니아에서 철의 장막 바깥의 삶에 대한 모든 이미지는 단절되었으며, TV는 프로파간다 프로그램으로 제한되어 있었다. 칙칙한 콘크리트 벽돌들로부터 식량 배급 대기줄에 이르기까지, 정부의 감시는 사람들을 공포에 떨게 만들며 그들의 이념 밖으로 한 걸음 내딪는 것을 금지시 해왔다. 그러나 모두가 볼 수 있는 자유로운 세상으로 들어설 수 있는 단 하나의 창이 있었다. 1980년대 중반 몇 천편의 헐리우드 영화들은 루마니아에 순조롭게 밀수되었다. 이 영화들은 루마니아에서 자유의 상징이 된 한 용기있는 여성 번역가에 의해 더빙되었다. 모든 아이들은 척 노리스와 장 클로드 반담 같은 액션 영웅들의 겁없는 이야기, 그리고 무엇보다 호화로운 소품과 배경에 매혹되었다. 루마니아 국민들은 거기서 처음으로 금지시되었던 것을 보았다. 음식이 가득 쌓여 있는 슈퍼마켓, 풍요로움의 과시, 최신 패션, 좋은 자동차, 그리고 무엇보다도 자유를.
