WINNER: Best Feature Film 2021 Berlinale Film Festival WINNER: Best Feature Film 2021 East West Golden Arc Festival Romania's entry into the 2022 Oscars for Best International Film Schoolteacher, Emi, finds her reputation under threat after a personal sex tape is uploaded onto the internet. Forced to meet the parents demanding her dismissal, Emi refuses to surrender. ...An honest look at contemporary life during the pandemic and offers a withering critique of the many issues of misogyny, shaming, censorship, hypocrisy and bigotry both within its modern story line and how these retrograde attitudes and prejudices are rooted in European history. It is a film with a raucous and exasperated attitude but nevertheless deadly serious in addressing the issues it raises.
