Synopsis:

Cristina, a 35-year-old secretary living in an alienating and hostile Bucharest, is trying to understand what it means to be an adult — paying bills, climbing the social ladder, settling down — while still desperately wanting to be a good child for the single mother who raised her. She is also a character in a novel that a theatre director is turning into a feature film. As the actors begin to inhabit the story, their individual backgrounds, social circumstances, and personal motivations start to overlap with the fiction they were given, gradually making it their own, questioning and reshaping it.
