Nelu, a man in his forties, works as a security guard in a local supermarket in the Romanian border town of Salonta. His life is uneventful: fishing at dawn, work during the day, and home with his wife in the evening. They live alone in the outskirts of the town and their main problem is repairing the old roof of their farmhouse. One morning, while fishing, Nelu meets a Turkish man trying to evade capture by the border guards. Nelu takes the stranger, desperate for help, to the farmhouse, gives him some dry clothes, food and shelter, although he doesn’t really know how to help him cross the border. When his wife she discovers the foreigner living in the cellar she insists he get rid of him, but he does not report the stranger to the authorities and puts him to work on his dilapidated farm. The Turkish man keeps insisting Nelu take all his money and help him reach Germany. Eventually, Nelu takes the money and promises he will help him cross the border the next day, reassuring him with the one word he knows in German: Morgen
IMDB
This could be a story about any border. One of those instances when human decency is maintained underground, DESPITE the law, and the law becomes absurd. Nice line: "Da' ce v-o făcut omu' ăsta vouă?" ("What has this man done to you?")
The frontier police (and customs) officers are at times apathetic about the whole business, yet clearly eager to exert their "power" to avoid endangering their position or whatever they want to believe their role is (the opening scene with the fish at the customs is beautiful).
This film also tries to keep the local dialect/communicative style authentic, and the lead actor does a great job at it - a nice touch.IMDB Reviewer
