PLOT SUMMARY
Alin, a truck driver, is on his last trip to Italy for the year before returning home to his wife, Silvia, and son, Ionuț, for Christmas.
What critics say:
„An exemplary documentary that captures, from the inside of a truck’s cabin, essential moments from the life of a driver in Europe, putting at the forefront a charismatic character – loneliness, fatigue, bizarre events and especially the sadness of being away from wife and child.”
(Ionuț Mareș, Ziarul Metropolis)
