Romania, Lithuania, Moldova, 2016, 88 Min

Black comedy from Moldova: apparently home to the highest levels of absurdity and sarcasm in Europe, the two misfits we encounter in this film open our eyes as to whether these myths correspond to reality. Hoping for a change in fortune, the two set out on an adventurous journey across one of our continent's lesser known countries.

Two men who've seen better years and can't stand one another, a complete mismatch in fact, and yet they find themselves united by adversity. In order to escape the daily grind and finally accomplish something in life the pair come up with all kinds of flawed schemes, yet despite the recurrent setbacks they refuse to give up. Instead they battle on, almost striking up an unlikely friendship in the process.

Moldovan filmmaker Igor Cobileanski is no stranger to Cottbus audiences, having presented both his short film COLECŢIA DE AROME/THE FLAVORS COLLECTION and debut feature film LA LIMITA DE JOS A CERULUI/THE UNSAVED at the FilmFestival Cottbus back in 2013. EG
