Overview

Gheorghe Blondă is the analog film laboratory technician from the National Film University of Bucharest. Under the pretext of modernizing the university, he is to be replaced and have his life-long career end. With the filming taking place at the same time as the anti-corruption protests in 2017, Romania, the film brings to light the ways in which the university, a public institution, mirrors the autorities that rule the country. Despite the leading board of the university claiming that it's a natural technological transition, Gheorghe's struggle to keep his job becomes a matter of life or death.
