2019 · 105 min · ★ 7.0 · Documentary

Have you ever considered that talking to a complete stranger could open your eyes and make you abandon everything that gave meaning to your life? A wandering philosopher, a guru or just a charlatan? This is the story of Cezar Mititelu, a man who decided to find true freedom for himself and realized, along the way, that he needs to change the others. A group of young people tried to escape the conformism and the constraints of an authoritarian society and found themselves castaway in irrelevance at the edges of history.
