Set at the beginning of the 19th century, the story written by Florin Lăzărescu and Radu Jude follows a regional policeman and his teenage son tracking a runaway gypsy slave. The title, which translates as an ironic “Bravo!” in the Ottoman-Turkish language, suggests a questioning of the so-called objective historical truth, reflecting on the way values and habits are transferred from one generation to the next. The cast includes: Teodor Corban, Mihai Comănoiu, Cuzin Toma, Alexandru Dabija, Luminita Gheorghiu, Victor Rebengiuc, Alberto Dinache, Alexandru Bindea, Mihaela Sîrbu, Adina Cristescu, Serban Pavlu, Gabriel Spahiu, Dan Nicolaescu.
