The wake begins in the living room, but the real funeral unfolds in the cramped kitchen and hallway. A family gathers in a Bucharest apartment, trapped by grief, old grudges, and the sheer weight of a shared past. Over the course of a single, claustrophobic day, conversations simmer and secrets surface, all under the unspoken shadow of the departed patriarch. Cristi Puiu’s 2016 drama is a masterful, real-time portrait of familial tension, where every glance and muttered comment carries the weight of a lifetime.
