Men of Deeds (2022)

Oameni de treabă (2022)

105 min. - Crime - N 15 - 25.11.2022


Synopsis: ILIE, almost 40-year-old, is the police chief of a small village in the Northern Romania, close to the border with Ukraine. Although suspicious things are happening in the village, with the mayor and the priest being part of a cigarette smuggling network, Ilie has specialized in seeing only what suits him best: when the mayor makes him guard the place where the smuggling takes place, Ilie’s naively convincing himself nothing happens over there. But Ilie makes a mistake and this is the beginning of his narrowing world, because the moment he gets involved actively in the events, he can no longer overlook things. And it's not only about cigarette smuggling anymore. A murder takes place. In just a few days, Ilie's life faces a radical change. His illusions are shattered. In a vacuum of solutions, he tries to be what he has never been before - the justice seeker who arrests everyone. Unfortunately, this turns into a clumsy massacre with shovels and axes and firearms from which no one survives.
