Finale (Romania, 2015, 15”)

Winter. A deserted beach. A violet sky. A hollow sound in the air. A van. A 40 year old man dressed in a suit laid on the sand looks towards nowhere. His eyes are tired and lacking any expression. Night, the same beach, the same sky, the same sound. The man sits in his van trying to write something. O pack of wild wolves surrounds the van trying to get in.
