The Father
He is a silent man. He walks the streets, watching, looking for the right place. He finds it. In the middle of a market. He sets up a stand. But instead of selling his goods, the silent man gives them away for free. The other sellers watch. They feel provoked. The situation escalates. They lose control. But in the end... there is hope.

Бухарест, 1911 год. Молодой актер, страстно увлеченный развитием кинематографа, решает снять фильм о войне за независимость Румынии 1877 года, войне, в которой столкнулись в противоборстве румыны, русские и турки. Ему предстоит идеологическая, политическая и даже внутрисемейная борьба, чтобы доказать, что кинематограф все-таки станет полноправным видом искусства…
Pierrot
When his credit card has just been swallowed by distributor Bruno Lussac, State Inspector Débé crosses the limits of home ethics when he learns that he has just been banned from banking. Disguised as a Southerner for a costume party where he was supposed to arrest drug dealers, he lures his colleagues into robbing a bank; he causes a bloodbath but comes out victorious of this heist. For his accomplices, the informant, and pretty peacekeeper Cécile Barko, known as Cyborg, this is the start of a crazy run.

Andrei Blaier's film catches the last days of The Stone Cross a low class brothels area that became some kind of an institution in the landscape of Bucharest before the Communist period, doomed to destruction under the new rules of proletarian morals that the Communists were trying to impose. The idea could be the start of a great film, with the prostitution being seen not so much from its destructive and exploitation perspective, but rather as a form of freedom in a time when the whole society was falling under the rule of propaganda, hypocrisy, and repression. In a world due to fall under tyranny for the coming decades prostitution becomes a metaphor of the old more free way of life.
Фильм описывает положение в Румынии в конце Второй мировой войны, обращаясь к одной из самых драматических и спорных тем в современной истории Румынии - перевороту 23 августа 1944 г.
