"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.
