Plot

Cornelia, a domineering, wealthy mother in Bucharest, uses all her influence to rescue her adult son Barbu from jail after he hits and kills a child while driving. She tries to manage the investigation and the victim's family, in a story of power and control. Călin Peter Netzer's 2013 film, with Luminița Gheorghiu, won the Golden Bear in Berlin.

Sinekatalog’s take

Călin Peter Netzer's Golden Bear winner is a razor-sharp study of a controlling mother shielding her son. Luminița Gheorghiu is magnificent in a tense, uncomfortable drama of privilege and guilt.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
