In Cluj, Transylvania, a homeless man commits suicide after being evicted from the basement where he had found shelter. Orsolya, the officer who carried out the eviction, is overwhelmed by guilt and tries in increasingly clumsy and desperate ways to find redemption. No one seems to listen to her. With a style that alternates between dramatic moments and grotesque, surreal situations, the film tackles complex issues such as the housing crisis, the post-socialist economy, nationalism, and the role of language in defining social hierarchies. A subtle homage to Rossellini's Europa '51, the film depicts a crisis of conscience as a reflection of a modern malaise to which few of us are immune.
