Three days after Charlie Hebdo’s attack and forty days after his father’s death, Lary attends a family gathering in memory of the deceased. When fierce differences of opinion arise, Larry is forced to face his fears and is left with no choice but to tell the truth.

Shot in a small apartment with virtuosic camerawork, this is a big family story by Cristi Puiu, a master of Romanian New Wave. Puiu’s authentic dark humor and restrained gaze is exceptionally engaging in this wordy anti-melodrama. An intense portrait of a middle-class family from Bucharest.
