A Romanian drama; A story about two men - a divorced father and his son - travelling cross-country for a festive family reunion in an unreliable car. Part character study, part road movie; the titular vehicle might be symbolic of its passengers' personal issues. It has a theme about adultery where it meets a father-son relationship and an acceptance about family breakup. The humorous moments come from a brilliant performance by Adrian Titieni, made all the more funnier by the reactions from the cast around him. Conversations are realistic, and perfectly timed stream of consciousness and the narrative unfolds naturally. Some scenes that go beyond convention for their length are intended for the moments of reflection and yet none of them outstay their welcome. All in all, a complex family portrait, nicely photographed in wintry Romania and Moldova.
