Merjem-Meri (30), neambiciozna domaćica i majka djevojčice Mile (8), poslije deset godina bračnog života vraća se u roditeljsku kuću. Ubrzo nakon povratka, Meri shvaća da je zarobljena u začaranom krugu provincijskih zakona i pravila, kao i u kompleksnim relacijama između ambiciozne majke i razmaženog mlađeg brata. Njena nada da će dobiti skrbništvo nad kćerkom je svakim danom sve manja jer nema priliku da nađe stalni posao. Jedino što je čini sretnom, a zbog čega je svi osuđuju, odlazak je na audiciju za film koji se snima u susjedstvu. Merjem-Meri, an unambitious, thirty-year-old homemaker and mother to eight-year-old girl Mila, moves back to her parents' home after ten years of marriage. Soon after, Meri realises she is stuck in a circle of provincial rules and expectations and a complex relationship with her ambitious mother and spoiled younger brother. Her hope to gain custody of her daughter wanes from day to day because she has no chance of finding a permanent job. The only thing that makes her happy – but that makes everyone else look down on her – is auditioning for a film role in her neighbourhood.

Romania, Bulgaria, 2022, Colour, 105 min. Režija / Director: Paul Negoescu
Uloge / Cast: Iulian Postelnicu, Anghel Damian, Vasile Muraru, Crina Semciuc, Daniel Busuioc
Ilie, lokalni šef policije, želi izgraditi siguran život za sebe, ali napravi jednu pogrešku. Sredovječan i otuđen, Ilie osjeća potrebu da bude dio nečega – da posadi voćnjak ili čak izgradi kuću. Iako se u selu dešavaju čudne stvari, Ilie vidi samo ono što mu odgovara. Kolaps nastaje onda kada se Ilie uključi u seoska zbivanja. U nedostatku rješenja, Ilie pokušava biti nešto što nikada nije bio: borac za pravdu koji hapsi sve koji su to zaslužili. Ilie, a small-town police chief, wants to build a comfortable life for himself, but ends up making the wrong choices. Middle-aged and alienated, he feels the need to be a part of something – to build an orchard, even a home. Although dubious things happen in the village, Ilie only sees what suits him. The moment he gets involved in village life marks the beginning of his collapse. In a vacuum of solutions, he tries to be what he has never been before: the justice-seeker who arrests everyone who might be guilty.

Slovenija, proljeće 1999. Dva prijatelja iz maloga sela odluče pretvoriti svoje mopede u čopere i krenuti na put. U potrazi za slobodom i ljubavi, vođeni ludim impulsima i progonjeni konzervativnim kalupima tradicije, počinju vjerovati i shvatati stvari koje prethodno nisu mogli ni zamisliti. Na putu kroz Sloveniju i Hrvatsku – zemlje koje su se netom otcijepile od Jugoslavije – prati ih mlada, odbjegla žena misteriozne prošlosti i stari bajker koji je obišao svijet u potrazi za slobodom. Kroz zajednička iskustva oni jedni drugima i sami sebi postavljaju izazove koji prekidaju njihove veze sa prošlošću i otvaraju put za nešto novo. Ali taj put je prevrtljiv i, uz iznenadnu smrt jednog od saputnika, stavlja njihovo prijateljstvo na kušnju. Slovenia, the spring of 1999. Two friends from a

small village decide to transform their mopeds into choppers and embark on a journey. Looking for freedom and love, driven by mad impulses and haunted by conservative moulds of tradition, they start believing and understanding things that were previously unimaginable. On the road through Slovenia and Croatia – countries recently separated from Yugoslavia – they are accompanied by a young runaway woman with a mysterious past and an old biker who has seen the world in search of freedom. These characters challenge each other and themselves through shared experiences, which break their ties to and conception of the old, thus giving way to the new. But the path is treacherous and with the sudden death of a companion, their friendship is at stake.

Buntovna tinejdžerka Zsófi živi u stančiću s mlađom sestrom Mesi i nestabilnom majkom Beom. Zsófi je prekasno shvatila da je trudna, te se odlučuje da će, nakon što se porodi, dijete dati na usvajanje.

Zsófi se oduvijek morala ponašati kao odrasla osoba, raditi i umjesto majke donositi razumne odluke za sebe i svoju sestru. Jedino što je zanima jeste karijera igračice stonog tenisa, na čemu naporno radi. Prema zakonu, Zsófi nakon poroda ima šest sedmica da se predomisli i zatraži povratak djeteta. Čini se da je u stanju hladnokrvno kontrolisati svoje emocije i kretati prema ciljevima koje je sebi postavila. Istovremeno, njen majčinski instinkt se budi i počinju je obuzimati sumnje. Zsófi, a rebellious teenager, lives in a tiny flat with her little sister, Mesi, and her unstable mother, Bea.
