ANNOTATION

Court bailiff Orsolya is having a bad day. A routine task — evicting a homeless man from a basement that is meant to make way for a planned luxury hotel — ends in tragedy. Although Orsolya was only following orders, she is left with an uneasy feeling that she is responsible for what happened. All her attempts to shake off this burden only deepen the absurdity of her situation.

In his latest film, which received the Silver Bear at this year’s Berlinale, the well-known Romanian provocateur Radu Jude presents a distinctive version of 21st-century neorealism, using his signature irony to explore the distorted morality of contemporary society.
