Inspired by a true story, the film presents a TV reporter's journalistic investigation into alleged American "flying prisons" in Romania. Through a combination of circumstances, following a mysterious File 631, Dinu (Iosif Paștina) discovers a leak from a NATO base in Romania. The news event stirs, provokes, tempts various media, top politicians, services, both internal and external, causing both hilarious and absurd dramas in a black comedy. The journalistic endeavour of the "newly" turned investigative reporter is a tough, not easy, test to preserve his professional dignity, but also his character, noting the duplicity, the moral volatility, the lack of measure of a world that relentlessly continues its course.

"Ocidente" é uma comédia amarga sobre as pessoas que querem emigrar da Roménia, e sobre aqueles que ficam para trás. O filme tem uma estrutura rica e interessante: existem três histórias diferentes - com a duração de uma semana no filme - que se cruzam, interligam e acontecem no mesmo período. As personagens influenciam a vida uns dos outros, às vezes mesmo sem saber. As personagens principais de uma história tornam-se personagens secundárias noutra. Ao mesmo tempo, cenas da primeira parte do filme trazem factos inesperados quando vistas a segunda ou a terceira vez. As histórias não têm apenas um fim: a primeira história termina em cada uma das terceiras partes num ponto diferente, sugerindo soluções radicalmente diferentes para as personagens. A maneira em que o realizador encaixa o tempo e liga eventos muitas vezes produz resultados tematicamente inesperados.
