Romania | 2007 | col | 155 mins | dir. Cristian Nemescu, with Armand Assante, Razvan Vasilescu

Cristian Nemescu's posthumous feature debut was inspired by a Kosovo war incident involving American troops accompanying a NATO train who were stopped at a rural Romanian railway station because they lacked customs documents. Winner of the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes this year, the film spins a complex dark comedy of near-Shakespearean proportions.

Followed by Q&A with editor Catalin Cristutiu and actress Maria Dinulescu
