Second Look

Restless teenager Horia takes off on his father's old motorbike in a cross-country journey to reunite with his love. On the road, he is joined by Stela, a sassy 13-year-old, and an unlikely friendship blooms.

31-year-old Vera is a vet in a small-town zoo veterinarian in Transylvania. After losing her new-born baby, she becomes obsessed with giving him the proper Eastern Orthodox burial rituals, spends more time at work and subsequently drifts apart from her husband, Toma. One day a tiger escapes from the zoo…

The tragic event of Robert's cat dying is quickly perceived by Ioana as an opportunity to forge a deeper connection with her friend. The burial turns odd when they are joined by his new girlfriend. An unannounced encounter between the human, the non-human, and the dense layers of feelings that are stratified in-between.
