After he fails to be accepted in college, Vali is questioned by police for participating in various thefts. He needs an alibi and he thinks the best one would be his father in Bucharest. To get there, he steals a motorcycle. In Bucharest he meets store clerk Anișoara, and he invites her to a seaside escapade. Their one day of love and future optimism is ended abruptly by a tragic motorcycle accident.

In a dystopian world set during World War II, a couple flees from an invisible but present enemy. A terminal point for humanity, where no one seems to know where to go or from which direction death may strike them.

With his old fashioned camera, the videographer Mr. Zagor (75 years) is documenting the last four years of his life, filming his loneliness and sickness. He shares the fears of his neighbours of being evicted from three different locations where he lived in precarious conditions. A poetic statement and an empowering cinematic document, ‘The Death of Joseph Zagor’ gives voice to the disenfranchised people that do not fit with the new dynamic image of big and expensive cities, such as Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
