THAT TRIP WE TOOK WITH DAD (2016) – romanian movie online

Synopsis: Arad, 1968. Mihai and Emil are two brothers of Romanian-German descent who have only one thing in common: their concern for their ailing father. Mihai, the older brother, is a doctor and, with a somewhat reluctant heart, an informant for the security forces. He seems to have come to terms with his life in Ceaușescu’s Romania.
