LEGACY

Dorian Boguță
Romania, 2019, 105 Min

A young man has disappeared, his sister and his girlfriend are mystified. The film accompanies two policemen as they investigate: collegial jokes, the everyday monotony of the work and, now and again, new leads. The missing person was fatally ill and yet he obviously wanted to make a mark before his departure. By any means necessary, as ultimately proves to be the case in this laconically captured psycho-drama.

Anton, a wonderful yet introverted pianist, lost both of his parents to a car accident several years ago. Since then his sister has evolved into the person, he enjoys the closest emotional attachment to. Recently, and without providing any reason, he resigned from his job at the philharmonic orchestra. In painstaking fashion, the superintendents attempt a step-by-step reconstruction of the young man's life, and these investigations lead them to a recent romantic acquaintance, an old schoolfriend, an idyllic convent located by an artificial lake and the news that Anton was suffering from a fatal illness. Time and again however the investigators sense that they are only learning half the truth. Anton's brother-in-law conceals the more-than-familial relationship between brother and sister, as well as his own health-related problems, the latter the cause of a chain of events with serious consequences amongst friends and family.

This directing debut from actor Dorian Boguţă (BREAKING NEWS, FFC 2017) features a suspenseful narrative which, though presented laconically, represents a focused and meticulous study of investigative work, as well as the mysteries of everyday human coexistence. WMH
