A multi-protagonist story, in a confined space and in a short time, with a large number of non-professional actors, many
of whom are on screen at the same time, and with frequently overlapping dialogue.
Without knowing who the thief is, the viewer finds himself in the same position as the characters and among them, shocked, clueless and trapped. The disappearance of
the money is only the trigger for other, much deeper things to come to light: mutual resentment, envy, hidden lies, economic deprivation, patriarchal power relations,
conservatism, nationalism.
Frustration is like a beast: powerless when it is born, terrible when it grows stronger. The image of the breakdown of the family, its bonds and community is a reflection of the profound and lasting social, political and economic deregulations of the transitional society.
We want our film to be anxiously naturalistic and macabrely funny, balancing seamlessly between harsh realism, social
critique and dark, absurdist comedy.
