In 19th century Romania, Costandin, a policeman of the time and his son travel through the country in search of a fugitive Gypsy slave. This is the beginning of a journey full of adventures. 'Aferim!' brilliantly depicts the historical roots of racism juggling wit and anger. Critically acclaimed, it went on to win the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival.

A policeman investigates the disappearance of a pianist and soon uncovers the troubling details of the man's life and relationships.

Cristian Mungiu's collection of five short comedies takes a bitingly satirical look at life in Romania during the final years of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu's regime. The individual episodes give an idea of how surreal and absurd the lot of the ordinary Romanian could be made by the machinations of their nation's brand of communism.
