Marius is a divorced man in his late thirties. His five year-old daughter Sofia lives with her mother, which causes Marius a deep frustration. On the day Marius arrives to take his daughter on their annual holiday, he is told that she is ill but he doesn't believe it and insists to take her with him. The situation soon gets out of control with all the family taking part in a web of humor, violence, childish songs, police interventions and love statements.

A disturbed man records himself leaving a long message to the loved ones. (Basically, the whole movie is done in only one shot which is the man’s recording). His message, both funny and melodramatical, proves to be a farewell message. The man accuses his friends and family for not understanding him, he also accuses the post-communist Romanian society which doesn’t work properly. After this message, the man shoots himself in the head. He doesn’t die, he is just badly wounded. What follows is a hilarious and horrific agony: the man is bleeding and crying for help. The neighbours get in and call the Ambulance…

Early in the morning, a young taxi driver must drive a forty-year-old woman from Jilava to Bucharest.
