An everyday father in Bucharest is the unintended witness of a stairwell argument between neighbours which ends in a criminal offence. A situation that can happen to any of us, yet how would you react?

Director Radu Muntean's fifth feature-length film, which featured at this year's Cannes Film Festival within the 'Un Certain Regard' programme section, tells the tale of Pătraşcu, who lives a modest life with his family in the Romanian capital. Life is turned upside down however when he observes a violent confrontation that finds a fatal end. Caught up in a moral conflict and feeling threatened by the suspected murderer, he remains silent in order to protect himself and his family. Can he still look at himself in the mirror however? EG
