The film takes the viewer into a journey through Alex’s confused world, after he finds out that his mother has suffered a cerebral attack. His mother’s state, the doctors, his girlfriend, the hospital’s patients, his mother’s girlfriends, the contradictory advice he receives from everyone or the patient wearing a rabbit mask on her face – all these contribute to Alex’s paranoia. As his mother seems to feel better, Alex commits numerous mistakes. For love with best intentions.


After studying film directing in Bucharest, Adrian Sitaru directs the short film “Waves” which brought him the Golden Leopard of Tomorrow in Locarno Film Festival. His debut feature film, “Hooked”, premiered at Venice Days in 2008 and established Sitaru as a new voice in Romanian post-communist cinema. Since then, his films gathered recognition from festivals such as Berlinale, Sundance, Palm Springs, Chicago, Thessaloniki and Sarajevo.
