This is a great story about society today depicted through a (bohemistic) father-(corporate) daughter relationship. There are couple of memorable scenes which made me bitter laugh out loud. Singing Whitney Houston and an absolute climax at the naked party are some of the best scenes ever. Movie has this Lost In Translation atmosphere where the city of Bucharest is both a medium through which characters interacte and a catalyzer of awkward situations. The film questions family relationships (father senses that life his daughter lives isn't fulfilling), corporate world, cultural and language differences, and above all, society as a whole ("...people are strange when you're a stranger...").
Fantastic acting, smart use of real life people which sometimes feels like Borat and brilliant writing. Thumbs up!
