Orsolya is a bailiff in Cluj, the main city in Transylvania. One day she has to evict a homeless man from a cellar, an action with tragic consequences that triggers a moral crisis which Orsolya must weather as best she can.

“For these characters, the past and the faraway become convenient displacements for their surrounding horrors. They ramble incoherently about Stalin and Putin, but they can’t seem to face their own regime—not even rhetorically. As such, responsibility, or the lack thereof, can only be an individual matter. Racists can politicize Ion’s tragedy, but the well-meaning “humane” liberals cannot, for doing so would risk unravelling the liberal order that gives them their comfortable homes. Like any good middle-class parent, Orsolya just wants a backyard and a good school for her children. There’s a world where she gets that without needing to evict Ion. But that is a world without transnational companies building boutique hotels on demolished lives. We won’t get there with charity.” ~ Hazem Fahmy, Reverse Shot
