DIRECTOR STATEMENT
"Against the backdrop of the usual prosaic tune of post-proletary Romania, I introduced a destabilizing element: a character that you instantly feel is in jeopardy, without being able to tell if she’s clueless or deliberately walking towards danger. The whole film revolves around this lavish, powerful, belligerent Emilia, who gets sucked into a moral swamp during a witness interview that takes place in his austere Bucharest apartment. As the action unfolds, I zoomed in on her unconscious attraction to potential danger and the way in which her subconscious manifests a desire to win at any cost. Together with the crew, we addressed latent, subliminal expressions of force in both characters, a sparkle which guided our artistic endeavour throughout the whole shooting process." Ioana Păun
