The Romanian themed section of this film festival is always something to watch.
Passing a female student's graduation exam involves a series of social and bureaucratic problems in which her father wants to "trust relationships" to cheat. By the way, it brings out the middle-aged extramarital affairs, the uncomfortable state inside and outside, and the girl's nature of pursuing fairness and no accident. Instead, Dad learned to let go. Quiet, calm, and burying all growth and social problems under the daily lens, isn't the life of Chinese students the same?
The special amusing is the embarrassing laughter that the Chinese audience at the scene unanimously comprehend.
Isn't it a good reflection, what principles should parents' rights be limited to? In many cases, both parties need to sit down and communicate well, otherwise, an arbitrary "relationship" help from parents can create a lifetime gap between them and their children. I have seen many cases like this in my daily life.
However, on the whole, it is still a film that is not satisfying with inner tension, especially after watching it for three days and two weeks in April.
