This film exceeded my expectations and the group of filmmakers who did this have a lot of potential!
I didn't think it was mediocre at all, the performance of the main actress was excellent, you could feel that constant tension, especially in the scene when she was looking for her son and was teaching him how to cover her lies. She transforms very unexpectedly into a different person she couldn't know she could be.
The ending was somehow surprising and served exactly what it needed. It made me think and it still does. There are lots of interpretations for the final scene and I recommend everybody to see the film and find the suitable meaning for themselves.

A truly enjoyable cinema experience. It has humour, tension, rhythm and very, very good performances from all the main cast. Alexandru Papadopol is very convincing as a the dispassionate priest.
A film that makes you think of French cinema. Alexandru Papadopol was well chosen for the role of the priest. His physique and the level of his performance help the character a lot. I never liked this actor and I don't like priests in general, so for me this role is a very pleasant and unexpected surprise. Alexandru Papadopol plays his part well until the end, being very credible. Mãlina Manovici is a sensual, expressive actress who conveys a lot, knowing how to hide a girl full of carnal desires under an angelic face. There would be a lot to say about the subject matter of the film, but that's another topic. In conclusion, a well-made film, along with Unidentified (2020).
Well, a very complicated film by its message, its feelings, by what the characters think and do. Especially since I have always considered that in a relationship, and in an adultery, there are always two parties who are wrong, who cross certain thresholds and limits. Not only one of the parties is guilty, and when it comes to adultery there are actually several parties involved and even... guilty.
So we have: a rather honest and reclusive priest; a wife who is both the priest's wife and a religion teacher at a high school, quite knowledgeable and willing to discuss not only Orthodox morality, but also life issues; a very free high school student, because he comes from a school in Germany, who at the same time asks questions, but is also eager to change the order of things.
Until love or desire intervenes in this triangle. Or immaturity. So, "When does freedom become dangerous? When it gives birth to inner monsters?" And at the age of immaturity, any reaction is dangerous, because it is, first of all, ...immature. A very complicated film, as I said, to see and discuss.

A Romanian thriller of great emotional intensity, inspired by a real and difficult story. It doesn't even matter that it takes place in a Romanian city. It could be from anywhere. This is excellent. It does not present the gloomy universe like the average Romanian. I was hugely impressed by the young actor Sergiu Smerea (Iuliu, the 16-year-old). Strange, passionate, able to look into the depth of another person, but also into the abyss of a world where people play their own lives inauthentically, but conforming. Very good Mãlina Manovici (Ecaterina, religion teacher). She embodies a domesticated shadow, passionately-dangerously awakened, if only for a moment, to a life that is not allowed to it. Very good Alexandru Papadopol (the priest Dragos). He is the born domesticated on whom life plays a tragic farce. The film is in the previews stage (TIFF, Sibiu an others). From September, it will take the path of big or small screens. Needless to say, I think you're missing out if you don't experience this cinematic experience. Mihaela Miroiu.
