Floating Things

2009 · 89 min Drama
5.4 / 10 · TMDB

While working in Europe, Avram comes to realize that Italians are paying good money for trained dogs that can protect them from the waves of immigrants. That's Avram's big-time idea: he returns to Romania to start breeding watch dogs which he can later export to Italy. As it happens, he settles next to a camp of immigrants recently sent back from Rome. Thus, the Italian tension is willy-nilly reenacted on the banks of the Danube. Avram's life gets complicated. He starts having an affair with his own daughter in law, lands in conflict with his ex-immigrant neighbors and his life is literally under threat. The film ends with an unpredictable situation.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a powerful allegory of European social tensions, transplanted onto Romanian soil. It explores the mechanisms of fear, prejudice, and economic opportunism, relying on a parable-like structure and a restrained visual style.

What lingers after the viewing is a profound sense of cyclical violence and unbridgeable divides. The final, unpredictable situation resonates as a bleak commentary on human nature. — MovieFinder Editorial
