Dan organized a wild party while his mum was away from home. The neighbours complain to her about the racket, but was it really that bad?
On her return from Bucharest, the neighbours welcome Neli with stories about the trouble caused by the wild party her 17-year-old son Dan organized in her absence. Dan, however, has a different version. Neli didn’t know her neighbours as well as she thought. Excellently acted fiction from Romania. –IFFR
