Marius, a divorced father, is frustrated that his five-year-old daughter Sofia lives with her mother. When he wants to take his daughter with him on holiday, he is told that she is ill. Suspecting a lie, he insists to take her with him, leading to a series of comic mishaps, lies, police interventions, all to the tune of children’s songs. With famed Romanian actress Stela Popescu. Q&A with U-M Lecturer in Germanic Languages and Literature Ramona Uritescu-Lombard to follow the screening.
