Romania, Fiction, 2002, 105′

A bitter comedy about the people who want to emigrate from Romania and those who stay behind. The plot has three different stories that interconnect and happen in the same period. The characters influence each others lives, sometimes even without knowing. The stories do not have just one ending: the first story ends in each of the third parts in a different point, suggesting radically different solutions for the characters.
