If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle

Silviu (George Piștereanu) is a teenager in a Romanian prison, counting the days to a release he has been waiting for. Two weeks before it comes, he learns his mother has returned home, and he cannot let her in. Florin Şerban keeps the focus on the quiet scenes between Silviu and Ana (Ada Condeescu), a sociology student interning at the penitentiary, who is the first person there to listen.
