MMXX, the Surprise film of TIFF.22 directed by Cristi Puiu, will be screened Saturday, June 17, at 3:30PM at the Student House.
Inspired by the pandemic experience from 2020, the film cosists of four short moments in time that are capturing the wanderings of a bunch of errant souls stuck at the crossroads of history.
Oana Pfifer, a young therapist visibly distracted by some unknown reasons, is slipping little by little inside the net of the questionnaire she is supposed to submit to her patient.
Mihai Dumitru, Oana’s younger brother, worrying about the preparations of his anniversary and not realizing how inappropriate his demands are, is stuck in a story far bigger than what he can handle.
Septimiu Pfifer, Oana’s husband, concerned about his health regarding a possible Covid-19 contamination, is vaguely listening to a strange story his ambulance colleague was caught inside long ago, while waiting for the next emergency call.
Narcis Patranescu, an organized crime inspector, perturbed by the recent death of one of his colleagues, is on the grip of an unsettling dark story while interrogating a young woman during a funeral.
The screening will take place in the presence of the film team.
