1999. Kosovo War. In a small Romanian village, the chief of the railway station, who also happens to be a local gangster, stops a NATO train transporting military equipment. Their arrival in this small village dramatically changes its landscape.

VIBE

A darkly comic, yet deeply melancholic look at how distant conflicts and bureaucratic absurdity disrupt the quiet isolation of a remote village. It's a slow, observational drift through a landscape waiting for change.
