Having given up his own dreams long ago, middle-aged physician Romeo
Aldea now primarily navigates his relationships with three women: an
estranged wife, a frustrated mistress, and his teenaged daughter
Eliza. It is Eliza's big event the title references; he has spent
years obsessively working toward that day, when she will be free from
the constraints their dead-end province. Yet the day before her
crucial final exams, an unfortunate incident proves enough of a threat
to a positive outcome that he reluctantly resorts to asking a favor of
a friend on the inside, which unravels a series of return favors,
ambiguous threats, bureaucracy, pay-offs and ethical conundrums —
embroiling him in the very corruption he has taught his daughter to
reject. In Mungiu's quickly moving, gripping drama, both father and
daughter, stuck with a limited range of options, have to negotiate the
sticky repercussions of an uneasy compromise — raising larger
questions about the complexity of Romania's present and perhaps,
future.
