A few days before Christmas, having quit his job in Germany, Matthias returns to his multi-ethnic Transylvanian village. He wishes to involve himself more in the education of his son, Rudi, left for too long in the care of his mother, Ana, and to rid the boy of the unresolved fears that have taken hold of him in the forest. He’s preoccupied with his father figure, Otto, and also eager to see his ex-lover, Csilla. When a few new workers are hired at the small factory that Csilla manages, the peace of the community is disturbed, underlying fears grip the adults, and frustrations, conflicts and passions erupt through the thin veneer of apparent understanding and calm.
Featuring an outstanding cast, R.M.N. is a gripping, breathtaking and powerful new work from acclaimed auteur Cristian Mungiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days).
