Eastern Business is a dark comedy about the unlikely friendship between Marian and Petro who, confronted with the lack of perspectives, become business partners and start a journey across Eastern Europe. The film stars Ion Sapdaru (12:08 East of Bucharest/A fost sau n-a fost?, 42Km Film) and Constantin Pușcașu.

Eastern Business was produced by Iuliana Tarnovețchi through Alien Film in coproduction with Dagnė Vildžiūnaitė through Lithuania's Just a Moment and Republica Moldova's Brio Film. The Romanian National Film Center and the Lithuanian Film Centre supported the film.

Antipode Sales & Distribution president Anton Mazurov is currently at the Karlovy Vary IFF running through 9 July, where, he told FNE, he will be attending the film and documentary works-in-progress presentations in search of new films to add to the company’s catalogue.
