Synopsis
Roman returns to the land near the border with Ukraine he has just inherited from his grandfather. Fully decided to sell this vast but desolate property, he is warned by the local cop that his grandfather was a local crime lord and his men will not let go of the land - and their smuggling business - without a fight.
Director's Statement
Up until 2005 Bogdan was a publisher, an advertising writer and a novelist, but he was so passionate about film that he attended Westminster University in London where he majored in Screenwriting. After he graduated, he returned to Romania and, in 2011, wrote and directed his first short film, BORA BORA, that earned him the Best European Short Film Award at the Angers Film Festival and the Best Rumanian Short Film at the Transylvania Film Festival. His film was picked by several other festivals, including Locarno, Warsaw and Thessaloniki. In 2014, his feature film project DOGS was selected for the Cannes Ciné Fondation Workshop.
