A new irony-laden story from Radu Jude about Romanian society and the place of people within this. Female bailiff Orsolya evicts an alcoholic from a basement, with far-reaching consequences for the addict – and Orsolya’s own conscience.
As part of her job, bailiff Orsolya has to enforce the orders issued by the court. This time, the order is to evict an alcoholic gambling addict from a basement he has illegally squatted. He says he’ll go get his things, goes back into the basement – and then kills himself.
