One day, on impulse, teenager Magda gives a valuable necklace to a girl, a patient in the oncology ward at the hospital where Magda volunteers together with her boyfriend Iulian. Her widowed father Cristi, who gave her the necklace, is certain she that she is lying. When she proves her innocence, Cristi feels ashamed and guilty, but also incapable of admitting he was wrong. His reaction will push the family towards inevitable change.

The second feature from Emanuel Parvu comes to Haifa directly from its premiere at the San Sebastian Festival. In this gripping family drama Parvu explores the theme of parents-children relations, where good intentions are never enough.

Filmography: Meda or the Not So Bright Side of Things (2017).
