Plot
An old man in a Romanian town, who is thought of as a war hero, learns that his medal was awarded to another.
Sinekatalog’s take
Călin Peter Netzer's debut is a bittersweet comedy about an old Romanian man celebrated as a war hero who learns his medal was meant for someone else. Victor Rebengiuc is wonderful in a gentle, wry and touching film about pride and truth.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
