The programmer’s eye

While tailing, Cristi, a young police officer spots a teenager selling drugs to his high school friends. Cristi refuses to arrest him even though he should. « The movie takes on a winding path, in between a thourough investigation and without anything at stake. The investigation turns to grotesque and with a deadpan sense of humor, while observing the moral doubts of a modest local government officer. Porumboiu's talent lies in his ability to skate in between realism and politico-metaphysical Kafkaesque's metaphors » (Jean Baptiste Morain, Les Inrockuptibles)
