In english dans le texte
As the last person to see her sister before she disappears, Maria (8) finds herself trapped in a world of deceit. Consumed by the loss, she takes it upon herself to find out what really happened, navigating through a universe of muted confusion, in the twilight of the Communist era. As Maria starts feeling that she is getting closer to uncovering the truth, a strange world opens up, threatening to take control of her. The only way to fight against it is to rely on her friends and imagination.

In the spring of 1989, the news of a horrible murder terrifies a small town in Romania: the body of a little girl who had gone missing several days earlier is found scattered all over the area. The two police officers called in to conduct the investigation gradually move from searching simple people’s homes, to abattoirs and interrogating mentally challenged suspects, gradually uncovering a latent strain of evil buried within the secrets of a community consumed by silence and fear.
