The story revolves around the mayor of a small town, the chief of police and the president of the local Christian youth league who are accompanying their friend, the introverted engineer Adrian, on his way to the monastery where he has decided to start a new life as a monk. Achim wrote the script together with Cosmin Manolache. George Chiper-Lillemark is the DoP. The cast includes Doru Ana, Mimi Brănescu and Adrian Văncică.

After several unsuccessful applications to the National Film Center, Gabriel Achim decided to produce this 140,000 EUR budget film independently through his company Green Film. Irina Malcea is executive producer and Dan Burlac is delegate producer. "The actors are associate producers, the team works for free, most of the equipment comes through partnerships or through the extraordinary collaboration of friends - Tudor Giurgiu, Ada Solomon, Cătălin Mitulescu, Alexandru Mavrodineanu, Axel Film, Raza Studio, Cinesyl România, Global Technical, Videolink, La Copac and Shift. We are also using a sponsorship from Unicredit Tiriac Bank. Therefore the effective spending will be 10-12,000 EUR which is an absolute first for Romania", Achim told FNE.

One third of the shooting takes place in the mountains, another third in studio and the last on location in Bucharest. The premiere is set for end of 2016.
