Another typical dry comedy from Corneliu Porumboiu (East of Bucharest; Police, Adjective), this time set in the most atypical location of the Romanian New Wave—the Canary Islands and Singapore. The film had its première in Cannes, while Slovenian audiences had the chance to see it as part of the Kings and Queens section of the Ljubljana International Film Festival. The Romanian candidate for the Academy Awards.
