Three days after the attack against the week publication Charlie Hebdo in Paris, Lary, a forty-something doctor, visits his family in Bucharest to commemorate the anniversary of his father’s death. Forced to face his past, Lary must reconsider his role in a clan that fears to face the truths about this celebration, which becomes tedious by focusing in energic and radical debates. The fifth feature film by the Romanian Cristi Puiu recovers the political analysis that he had showed in The Death of Mister Lazarescu (2005) and pours it on the portrayal of a witty and ironic lineage, a metaphor of the ideological and moral crackdown of his country’s society.
