The movie is the happy image of an unhappy real case


The movie is the happy image of an unhappy real case.
Beside the fact that I do not like the use of a bad quality handy cam, and the shaking hands of the cameraman in the first 25 minutes of the footage, the movie wants to be a disclaimer for the medical stuff that contributed to the death of a pacient who was abandoned in the street by the paramedics, after a night in which none of the hospitals accepted to take the pacient.
The movie represents actually a better view than the reality of the medical services in Romania, and the actors are great (ok, Monica Barladeanu, aka Monica Dean really sucks, but, we cannot be all perfect, can't we?), the plot is well builded, maybe a little bit clumsy and slow, and the movie is indeed ful of realism. The fact that the pacient could have been saved leads to the "lame ending" , which I consider a good choice. Nice movie, but definitely not a chef d'oeuvre.

the movie is very, very original, but it is also very, very boring. nothing realy happens, but it presents one of the many, many problems in Romania
