A Romanian drama; A story about about two men, a divorced father and his son, who are running away from their own partner issues for a day, travelling cross-country for a festive family reunion in an unreliable car that requires a lot of care and attention. Part character study, part road movie, it has a theme about emotional baggage and complications of a broken home, and how adultery figures in the context of father-son relationship with the titular car almost symbolic of breakdown of fidelity. The humorous moments, thanks to a brilliant performance by Adrian Titieni, make it very watchable, made all the more funnier by the reactions from the characters around him. The conversations are organic and realistic and perfectly timed stream of consciousness, unfolding naturally. Some scenes which go beyond convention for their length are intended for reflection but none outstay their welcome. All in all, a complex family portrait and nicely photographed in wintry Romania and Moldova.
