In 21st century Bucharest, to go out in the city on Saturday evening on the arm of a beautiful woman is a risky financial investment. Ovidiu, an unassuming high school teacher, never could afford it. Looking for a source of income more substantial than a teacher's salary, Ovidiu plunges into a fabulous world – the beggar mob.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A Romanian satire that follows a desperate teacher's descent into Bucharest's underground begging economy, where the margins of survival and morality blur with pitch-black humor. It's a jaundiced look at economic desperation dressed up as dark comedy.
