Adriana Trandafir

Matters of the heart weave themselves into a love pentagon between five actors as they rehearse for a stage play in Bucharest's historic quarter.

Adriana, a 65-year-old woman, tries to live her life to the fullest, rediscovering her femininity and her desire to love. Her sons, Gabriel, a self-absorbed corporate man, and Andrei, a man on the verge of personal and professional failure, suddenly invade her life, each with their own crises. Gabriel juggles a tense marriage and extramarital temptations, and Andrei runs away from a broken relationship and professional failures. Three destinies collide under the same roof, in a carousel of comic situations, dramatic moments and intimate revelations. The three come to understand that family, with all its conflicts and absurdities, remains the only safe haven.

Ana and Nicolae, a young Romanian couple, travel by bus from Bucharest to Vienna with the prospect of making quick money by handing over a stolen car. As soon as they arrive, however, they are reassured that the car is not yet ready for them. Ana then wants to go back to Romania, Nicolae would rather travel further west. They are stuck penniless in Vienna.

Angela (Liliana Pană) and Dorina (Magda Catone), working at the Match Factory, live in the home and dream of marriage and spouses to give them a decent living. But the illusions are shattered when the men encountered prove their lack of character: Titi (the boy whom Angela is in love with, appears at a time with a kid and is raped), a vendor, is pimp, Emil, an engineer, is a And Radu, an emigrant in Australia, is undistinguished by his Collie dog.

Păcală, a young man without too many expectations from life, is tired of wandering around the world and driven by the longing for his parental home he decides to return to his homeland, from somewhere "outside" - a timeless space located outside the borders of Romania.

A tabloid photographer is given the assignment to follow a politician suspected to have sexual relations with an underage girl.

Musician Gabriel and dimpled dry-cleaning proprietress Gabriela live like two strangers who no longer see each other. But in humorous contrast to their staid, passionless lives, characters in a constant state of sexual arousal surround them. Their libidinous teen son, whose hilarious voiceover commentary intermittently provides important narrative information, prides himself on being the high school stud and aspires to a career in porn. Gabriela's sexy employee switches boyfriends the way she changes clothes. And despite being married, Gabriel's colleague is working his way through the female members of their orchestra. Ultimately, the two Gabys find their virtual affairs reconnect them with their own desires, but in a way less movie-fantasy and more satisfyingly real-life.
